I built a linux-next kernel yesterday and discovered that the free vmware server 2 would start to boot the kernel and very quickly just power off. vmware gave some crap message about the MBR being wrong, which obviously wasn't the case since grub started and the kernel started booting. Looking at the last line on the serial console for the new kernel and the next line in a working kernel I knew the next output was supposed to be in the ACPI code. I bisected drivers/acpi and found that d6c349993fc7c9dabf873796c4e82bb94544b3ce is first bad commit. I have no idea what vmware is doing, or what we are doing, but before that patch I was able to boot and after it, vmware just shuts itself off. -Eric -- 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
