The latest version of acpidump in the pmtools package grabs the dynamic tables, as advertised in /sys/firmare/acpi/tables/dynamic/* It was possible to get these before by invoking acpidump with address and length params, but now the common case is covered automatically, as the tables that were loaded as of when acpidump was run are captured. http://userweb.kernel.org/~lenb/acpi/utils/ pmtools-20101221.tar.gz or later Thanks to Yakui Zhao for this update. cheers, 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
