Philip, Jeff, Please open up a bugzilla.kernel.org report and attach the output from acpidump from your machines. I am hopeful that the "right thin to do" is to not look at bm-status and that perhaps there is a bug where we are looking at it "by mistake". However, it is important that the system be operating properly when it indeed using c6 as it does with that 1 line patch earlier in this thread. So if that patch causes abnormal operation, please let me know. thanks, Len Brown, Intel Open Source Technology Center -- 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
