Did you > investigate that? There is not clue in the commit that added this to ia64 as to why dmi_scan_machine() was added as an initcall. I just tried to move it into setup_arch() - immediately after the efi_init() call as in x86 - and my system hung without printing anything in boot. Agreed this would be a better fix. I'll see if I can figure out what this call depends on, and so whether I can move is a bit later, but still early enough to be available for Ming's code to work. -Tony -- 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
