I asked about this on the support list and they tried to blame it on XFree86, but I'm not running X (yet). So the first question is, how can would one debug this without pmtest or how can I fix pmtest? I saw a post earlier on the list saying that pmtest in the pmtools package is orphaned right now, and that it won't compile. However it seems to compile just fine with gcc-3.0 and 3.2, does this indicate a compiler bug? I've recompiled my entire kernel with both 3.0 and 3.2 with no sideffects, but I need pmtest to try to fix the aformentioned problem. Sadly, even though it compiles... when I try to insmod it I get the following message: Error inserting 'pmtest.o': -1 Invalid module format and this message shows up in my syslog: No module found in object I've added the MODULE_AUTHOR/DESCRIPTION/LICENSE functions to the file before compilation, but am unknowing as to what else is missing. Does anyone have any time to shed any light on this problem? I've never done any kernel programming before, but am willing to learn if necessary. Thanks much for your time. --hachi Kernel 2.5.69 and 2.5.70, both with patched DSDT. All ACPI components built-in to the kernel. Currently running 2.5.70 compiled under gcc-3.2, no framebuffer, no x, acpid 1.0.2, email me for more if needed. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The best thread debugger on the planet.
