Hi Brian,
Hmm, it have the same effect like commenting out these "if (ec_ecdt && ec_ecdt->uid == uid) {...}" block in acpi_ec_add() of ec.c. No errormessages anymore but also no events from the powerbutton...
I'll no try for testing a kernel with both hacks ;-) ...
And I'll give 2.5.66 a shot to see if it makes a difference ....
thanks for the quick response
regards
micha

ps: which BIOS revision are you running on your R32?
