Andreas,
have you got past the booting problem on this box?
if 2.6.18 boots but the latest kernel doesn't, that is something
we need to figure out....

Thanks for the dmidecode output.

Do you notice any functional difference when booting with

"acpi_osi=Linux"        (default for 2.6.22 and earlier)
vs.
"acpi_osi=!Linux"       (default for 2.6.23 and later)

Also, please send me the output from acpidump.

thanks,

Yes, I'm currently running a 2.6.24-rc8 and it works great. I do not
remember exactly which kernel was the first that worked for me, but I
think it was something like kernel >= 2.6.23.8.

Do you still need the requested information?

Thanks for the acpidump


                    If (\_OSI ("Linux"))
                    {
                        Store (0x01, LINX)
                        Store (0x80, ^OSTB)
                        Store (0x80, ^TPOS)
                    }

LINX is written, but never read --a NOP
TPOS is compared to 0x40 (vista) in the SATA AML,
which OSI(Linux) will break
OSTB is compard to 0x40 (vista), which OSI(Linux) will break,
apparently disabling video notifies.

So I recommend that we continue to disable OSI(Linux) on this
box, unless you find that SATA or the video driver work
better without it.

thanks,
