I'm experimenting with Kernel 2.6.0-test9 + acpi-20031002-2.6.0-test9 patch on my Sony Vaio PCG-F403 (P3-450, i440BX, PhoenixBIOS, both APM and ACPI capable). But I have several problems: - I have to use "acpi=force" because otherwise it says my BIOS is too old. (Actually, I have the newest BIOS from Sony (dated 2000...*hmm*) - reading Battery status works, but it always says "... battery will never fully charge", although it charges up to 100% - When entering S3 state, some lines appear (something about hda, it is gone too fast to read), then the screen blanks and the power LED blinks red slowly, just like with Suspend-To-RAM in APM mode (which works fine btw.). But then I can't turn it on again, neither can I turn it off. I have to unplug the PSU and remove the battery to turn it off completely. (IIRC somebody posted the same problem with a Dell notebook some time ago). - Since I'm running ACPI, my system clock does weird things (going forward/backward some hours or days - ntpdate is my friend ;-) Most important for me is to get S3 working. Is there any chance? Furthermore, what is the best way to test if the different cpu throttling settings have any effect at all?
