Thanks, Len. I need the ACPI_FUNCTION_TRACE output , otherwise I will write printk() for look into the kernel acpi load process and debug my BIOS acpi part. I have tried the 2.6.22 and .2.6.24 kernel. Unfuntunely, after setting the acpi.debug_level and acpi.debug_layer to 0xFFFFFFFF and give the enough log_buf_len. Still there is no ACPI_FUNCTION_TRACE out. I'll try the 2.6.27 kernel and report the result.

If 2.6.27 doesn't work, please report it to the list above. thanks, -Len On Tue, 21 Oct 2008, Huang, FrankR wrote: > I use 2.6.24 kernel and have this option to Y.
