There's some more fixes made lately, so how about another release in a few
days?

BTW if any of you *really* want to follow ACPI development, let me just
mention again that I do maintain a bk tree at linux-acpi.bkbits.net, and
that is updated with fixes as they are applied.

BTW2 the flood of debug messages should *not* crash the system, so if it is,
that's the real bug to fix.

SF doesn't support BK, and CVS is ill-suited for kernel development.

Although more information on the SF site would of course be good.

Jan,

We have discovered a possible situation where an Acquire() with an infinite
wait (0xFFFF) could in fact timeout without obtaining the mutex.  This may
be the root of the problem you are seeing.

Andy is preparing a patch.

To follow up, I get the following at bootup if the fan runs when the box
is booted:

[...]
    ACPI-0226: *** Error: Cannot release Mutex [MEC0], not acquired
    ACPI-1154: *** Error: Method execution failed, AE_AML_MUTEX_NOT_ACQUIRED

ACPI: Lid Switch [LID]
ACPI: Fan [FAN1] (off)
ACPI: Fan [FAN2] (off)
ACPI: Fan [FAN3] (off)
ACPI: Processor [CPU0] (supports C1 C2 C3, 8 throttling states)
ACPI: Thermal Zone [THRM] (55 C)
[...]

Maybe this will help.

Oops. That shouldn't have slipped in. Thanks, Ernst. I will upload an
updated 2.4 patch to sourceforge right away.

Hi all,

20021101 is now released at http://sf.net/projects/acpi . It includes a fix
for the proc/thermal missing bug, as well as a few others. Non-Linux
releases will be posted most likely by tonight.

Regards -- Andy

----------------------------------------
01 November 2002.  Summary of changes for version 20021101.

1) Linux

Fixed a problem introduced in the previous release where the
Processor and Thermal objects were not recognized and
installed in /proc.  This was related to the scope type change
described below.

2) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:

Fixed a problem where platforms that have a GPE1 block but no
GPE0 block were not handled correctly.  This resulted in a
"GPE overlap" error message.  GPE0 is no longer required.

Removed code added in the previous release that inserted nodes
into the namespace in alphabetical order.  This caused some
side-effects on various machines.  The root cause of the
problem is still under investigation since in theory, the
internal ordering of the namespace nodes should not matter.

Enhanced error reporting for the case where a named object is
not found during control method execution.  The full ACPI
namepath (name reference) of the object that was not found is
displayed in this case.

Note: as a result of the overhaul of the namespace object
types in the previous release, the namespace nodes for the
predefined scopes (_TZ, _PR, etc.) are now of the type
ACPI_TYPE_LOCAL_SCOPE instead of ACPI_TYPE_ANY.  This
simplifies the namespace management code but may affect code
that walks the namespace tree looking for specific object
types.
