The issue that started this thread can be diagnosed by user-space in linuxfirmwarekit. Multiple machines have this bug, which means that it is "common industry practice" and the kernel has to work around it (silently) if we like it or not. ie. the issue, now that it is debugged and worked around, is effectly just firmware lint. thanks, -Len -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
