> and it does not happen if atlas_btns is not loaded) Ok, the condition for the following e-mail is that atlas_btns.ko hasn't been loaded. The normal operation now is that I get for every key-press: ACPI Error (evregion-0316): No handler for Region [ASI2] (de012190) [UserDefinedRegion] [20080321] ACPI Error (exfldio-0290): Region UserDefinedRegion(81) has no handler [20080321] ACPI Error (psparse-0530): Method parse/execution failed [\BNSV] (Node de011b58), AE_NOT_EXIST ACPI Error (psparse-0530): Method parse/execution failed [\_GPE._E15] (Node de011d80), AE_NOT_EXIST ACPI Exception (evgpe-0573): AE_NOT_EXIST, while evaluating GPE method [_E15] [20080321] And for every key-release: ACPI Error (evregion-0316): No handler for Region [ASI2] (de012190) [UserDefinedRegion] [20080321] ACPI Error (exfldio-0290): Region UserDefinedRegion(81) has no handler [20080321] ACPI Error (psparse-0530): Method parse/execution failed [\BNSV] (Node de011b58), AE_NOT_EXIST ACPI Error (psparse-0530): Method parse/execution failed [\_GPE._E15] (Node de011d80), AE_NOT_EXIST ACPI Exception (evgpe-0573): AE_NOT_EXIST, while evaluating GPE method [_E15] [20080321] Second observation: then I press the ACPI buttons quickly, I can also trigger a lock-down of the system. It takes some presses, here I needed about 50 or 60 presses. Now I got the system in a state where it virtually it doesn't recover itself. Every 60 seconds or so I get some kernel output lines. But I cannot SSH into it to get them, so I scribbled some stuff from the screen. The most common output that I get is similar to this (I ommitted registers and hex values): BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s!
