Toshiba Satellite L650D-10J only boots with acpi=off

Toshiba Satellite L650D-10J only boots with acpi=off

[Frank]

Hello,

I purchased a Toshiba Satellite L650D-10J a few days ago and when I
wanted to install Archlinux I was only able to boot the installer with
acpi=off. The same goes for the installed OS.

I asked on ##kernel on freenode and one guy said I should mail this
issue to this mailing list. And include all the information I have.

This is what I get when I boot without acpi=off:
http://i.imagehost.org/view/0872/DSC00071
http://a.imagehost.org/view/0172/DSC00069

The system boots normally when I use acpi=off, but the dual-core CPU is
seen as a CPU with one core. And X is slow with starting up and doesn't
shutdown when I close Openbox, but I'm not sure if that's even related.

Here's the dmesg:
http://codepad.org/W7EzULKf

And the lspci:
http://codepad.org/ce1boP3r

I'm using the stock Archlinux x86_64 kernel (the latest is 2.6.35.3-1
at this moment) and the config files can be found here:
http://repos.archlinux.org/wsvn/packages/kernel26/repos/core-x86_64/

If more information is needed, I'll glady provide it.

Regards,
Frank

Can you try to boot with "pci=nocrs" instead of "acpi=off"?

Doesn't seem to work. Results in this:

Hi, Frank,

could you please check if boot option acpi=copy_dsdt helps?
Note, please do this test in the latest kernel.

thanks,
rui

Re: Toshiba Satellite L650D-10J only boots with acpi=off

It works, it sees the two cores of my CPU and I the acpi command gives
me info about the CPU, temperature, battery and cooling. The laptop
also shutsdown by itself when I execute the shutdown command.

Here's the output from 'dmesg | grep -i ACPI':
http://codepad.org/KcqZMvCa

The only problem left is that X starts slowly and doesn't shutdown when
I exit Openbox, but that's has probably to do with the video driver.

so it seems like we need to add another dmi entry for this laptop.
please attach the dmidecode output.

please attach the dmesg output after boot.

Here is the dmidecode output:

Sorry, it was a typo in .xserverrc. It's solved now.

I sent a patch for a similar model recently:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-acpi/msg29761.html
Except it's a C650D instead of the L650D here.
It appears this patch hasn't been merged yet.
