It is new not only in the sense that I just got it, but also it is = a new model with new chips mostly unsupported under Linux. you can see the log of my attempts at making Linux work on this box= at http://www.df.uba.ar/~solari/acer.html (No shame, Acer can only get the 32bit Visa working on this AMD-64 machine and the BlueTooth device is not supported, although it is there...) I started with debian Etch 4.0 with kernel 2.6.18.4 and soon updated th= e kernel to the last stable release 2.6.22 (no patch). With both kernels I have ACPI problems at booting time. 2.6.18.4 does not find the battery hangs when installing the module ac.ko removing the module ac-.ko it hangs later when launching the daemon= hald working under acpi=3Doff on boot line 2.6.22 hangs at boot time with last words ACPI Exception (processor_core=3D0781): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device= is not present [20070126] works with acpi=3Doff or acpi=3Dht you can find dmesg output at the link provided above. ACPI tables downloaded and recompiled without errors or warnings (did I miss soemthing?) You can find them in a tarball at: http://www.df.uba.ar/~solari/ACER/acpidsl.tgz I hope you can help me, thanks in any case H= ernan PS: using Linux since version 0.99 --=20 Hern=E1n Gustavo Solari, solari@df.uba.ar, http://www.df.uba.ar/~solari - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" i= n the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
