Subject: T30 boot hang with CONFIG_PM_LEGACY=n
Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2006 00:00:40 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200609270000.40760.len.brown@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20060927024628.GA29182@redhat.com>
My T30 doesn't boot if CONFIG_PM_LEGACY=n
unless "apm=off".
Seems that this build option causes PM_IS_ACTIVE() to be constant 0,
which disables APM's check to see if ACPI is running:
apm_init()
...
if (PM_IS_ACTIVE()) {
printk(KERN_NOTICE "apm: overridden by ACPI.\n");
apm_info.disabled = 1;
return -ENODEV;
}
Apparently when CONFIG_PM_LEGACY was created, CONFIG_APM depended
on it, so apm.c wasn't built. But that dependency was later removed so it is now possible
to build APM with its check for ACPI mysteriously disabled -- much to the unhappyness
of my T30.
What's the plan here? Perhaps that plan should be written down
in kernel/power/Kconfig?
config PM_LEGACY
bool "Legacy Power Management API"
depends on PM
default y
---help---
Support for pm_register() and friends.
If unsure, say Y.
thanks,
-Len
