ACPI event problems...

ACPI event problems...

[GregR]

I have a laptop (Sharp PCAV18) that has some terrible problems with ACPI.  
Right now I am not trying to get sleep or suspend/hibernate working as the 
biggest problem I have is lockups.

For any ACPI event related to the LID ac_adapter or battery that happens, the 
thing freezes.  If I plug/unplug the ac_adapter it freezes.  If I insert the 
battery when on ac power it freezes.  When the battery goes from charging to 
full it freezes.  When the LID button is triggered, it freezes.

I have tried the latest kernel (1.6.13.4), compiled with the ACPI features 
built in, and as modules.  I have compiled my own DSDT and installed that in 
the kernel.  Nothing seems to make any difference.

If I boot using a Knoppix CD, it all seems to work great.  The distro I am 
using is Mandriva, I have tried both 2005 and 2006.  Same thing.

If there is any information that I can post, I would be more than willing to do 
so.  Just let me know what you need.  

Thanks

Greg
