Dear Shaohua Li,

Thank you once again. I have installed the patch from the
web site you mentioned (the one dated 2003-12-24).

After that all acpi modules load with out any errors (with obvious
warnings about that "bit_width must be 8").

The computer screen blinks during boot and sometimes when modules are
loaded. Otherwise I did not notice any side effects of the patch.

The battary status wrongly states that Battery 1: charged, 0%
Is there a way to correct this problem?
AC status is reported correctly. POwer button does tno seem to work.
Thermal infomation appears to be correct.
Do you want me to test anything?

Thank you very much for your kind help

Lazar
