It fixed the deadlock issue. :-) As it now completes an eject operation, I found a new issue. When the OS called _EJ0, it is not supposed to call _OST since FW has already received the completion status from _EJ0. That is, the OS calls either _EJ0 (success case) or _OST (failure case) for hot-delete. -Toshi -- 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
