The P4B266 DMI entry went into ./arch/i386/kernel/dmi_scan.c back in Aug-2003. That was when I was just starting to maintain ACPI, and I took a bunch of blacklist entries from SuSE because they were already shipping with ACPI enabled. In the short term, it may have been the right thing to do, but in the long term it was a mistake and I regret doing it. Blacklist entries paper-over real bugs, and unless we are lucky enough that somebody like you, Oliver, steps forward, blacklist entries are nearly impossible to ever remove. So I'm inclined to apply your original patch to delete the blacklist entry entirely. If somebody with one of those boxes has a regression, we'll go fix their box -- which we may have acutally fixed years ago and not known it... 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
