Bug #569
Updated by tuxillo over 9 years ago
Hi. Please post any bug reports to bugs@, whether it's ACPI-related or not. Is this bug new in 1.8? Do you experience this problem when you run a UP kernel? That's how you enable some debugging features when the acpi driver is compiled in the kernel. However, compiling the ACPI driver in the kernel is not supported at the moment, as some modifications to ACPI-CA code are given as *.patch files in /sys/dev/acpica5 and those are not used when compiled in the kernel (I believe there's a few other drivers which also use *.patch files, but I haven't tried to see if these are not used either). To compile an acpi driver with debugging feature enabled for an SMP kernel, you do: export ACPI_DEBUG=yes CFLAGS='-O -pipe -DSMP=1' for bourne shell users, or for *csh, setenv ACPI_DEBUG yes setenv CFLAGS '-O -pipe -DSMP=1' Sounds like ACPI driver failed to load. Do you have this problem when you boot with ACPI disabled (debug.acpi.disabled="acpi" in the boot loader)? Cheers.
