ACPI Error (utglobal-0126)

ACPI Error (utglobal-0126)

[Erwan Velu]

Hey folks,

I'm running a 2.6.24-rc7 on my Samsung R70 in 64bit mode.
While booting up, the ACPI shows me this error :

ACPI Error (utglobal-0126): Unknown exception code: 0xFFFFFFFE [20070126]

I would love helping you in fixing that.
How Can I Help ?

you just did:-)

Rui,
acpi_video_bus_get_one_device() is returning -errno style status,
but acpi_video_bus_get_devices() is expecting an ACPICA style status

                status = acpi_video_bus_get_one_device(dev, video);
                if (ACPI_FAILURE(status)) {
                        ACPI_EXCEPTION((AE_INFO, status, "Cant attach device"));
                        continue;
                }

looks like this was true in 2.6.23 as well...

Hmm, return value is -ENOENT which means video bus failed to evaluated
the _ADR method of the video device.
Please open a bug at
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=ACPI
and assign it to me.
Please attach the dmesg output and acpidump as well.

Please try this patch first.
From: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com>

acpi_video_bus_get_one_device() is returning -errno style status,
but acpi_video_bus_get_devices() is expecting an ACPICA style status

Fix this and check the return value of acpi_video_device_enumerate as well.

I'm sorry but I can't patch my 2.6.24-rc7 or even the rc8 with that
patch. The patch is rejected. On which kernel should I apply that
patch ?

Erwan,
