They all already work, even if it's in a > suboptimal way. If C-states don't work and do work with a patch. I call the patch a fix. I also call the machine broken (even if it does boot) before and fixed afterwards. I also call a machine broken which takes minutes to boot and fixed as soon as the problem is solved and the machine is booting in a reasonable amount of time. Thomas
