dmidecode for acer aspire 5052 laptop

[Artem Goncharov]

Hi. For my laptop using acpi_osi=Linux seems to be working better, but
I'm not completely sure in that.


What I don't like is the following cut from /var/log/messages

>Jan 19 14:19:09 blending kernel: PCI: MSI quirk detected. MSI deactivated.
>Jan 19 14:19:09 blending kernel: assign_interrupt_mode Found MSI capability
>Jan 19 14:19:10 blending kernel:last message repeated 3 times
>Jan 19 14:19:09 blending kernel: pci_hotplug: PCI Hot Plug PCI Core
version: 0.5
>Jan 19 14:19:09 blending kernel: ACPI Exception
(processor_core-0819): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device is not present
[20070126]



That is true in both cases (with and without acpi_osi=Linux option.


However I'm attaching dmidecode for my laptop.



P.S.
>Jan 19 14:19:09 blending kernel: ACPI: System BIOS is requesting _OSI(Linux)

thanks for the acpidump.  Like others in the Aspire 5050 family,
there is a possible interraction between OSI(Linux) and SATA
that is because OSI(Linux) disables the test for Vista.

If you notice any difference with SATA between acpi_osi=Linux
and acpi_osi=!Linux, please let me know.

thanks,
