The other day I was checking out the acpi support on my Compaq Evo n610c. I have the latest bios from compaq, and I was trying out the 2.6.1 stock kernel. I build the acpi modules into the kernel. When I pipe a "3" to /proc/acpi/sleep the system seems to go down just fine. But when I try to power up, she just lets out a continuous beep. I had to take the battery out to reset it. Then at as I'm booting, grub freaks out. Somehow, grub.conf was gone... wtf? grub.conf lives on /hda2, which was never mounted. I re-wrote grub.conf, but don't really know what happened... where did it go? why? THe next boot cycle, /hda5 (home) complains, so I fsck it, and find a few inode problems that I just let fsck fix. Next boot, grub is completely gone from the boot sector, and the machine boots straight to Windows! At this point I'm worried big time. I have run all the compaq diagnostics to see if the disk is messedup - it's not. I re-installed grub, and I've gone back to 2.6.0. I have not tried echo 3 again. So I have no idea what happened. Seems the laptop freaked out. anyone else see anything like this before? On another note, has anywone gotten acpi to *really* work on the n610c??? cheers, Gabe ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
