If you need a fix for now, you can use the patch pointed to by the link you've provided, Or you could find an updated one here: acpi-ipmi13.patch archived in (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=112611) I think the solution you've provided in this patch is also reasonable for now. IPMI also uses a similar solution to solve this issue. Please refer to the CONFIG_ACPI_IPMI. The story can be found at: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-acpi/msg49044.html And the similar solution can be found at: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-acpi/msg49184.html Thanks and best regards -Lv > > -- > Best regards > Tianyu Lan ��.n��������+%������w��{.n�����{�����ܨ}���Ơz�j:+v�����w����ޙ��&�)ߡ�a����z�ޗ���ݢj��w�f
