Re: IBM Thinkpad R32 and ACPI

[bperkins-ooduxAEi7gVg9hUCZPvPmw@public.gmane.org]

This problem is supposed to be fixed in the next release(see the archives).

The problem was solved for me (on my R32) by going to 
drivers/acpi/events/evxfregn.c
and removing one of the 

acpi_ut_remove_reference (handler_obj);

lines (there are two). 
This might also help other Thinkpad users who have similar problems.


Let me know how it goes.  Sleep functionality seems pretty broken at
the moment.

 Here's a patch, if you prefer.
