Re: patched sms-cm acpi/ec.c to 2.6.11.5

["François Valenduc" <fvalenduc-IWqWACnzNjyZIoH1IeqzKA@public.gmane.org>]

I tried this patch and it doens't work very well. First, the kernel 
takes a very long time to boot. I have to wait more than 30 seconds to 
see the first kernel messages appear. Second, it takes also a long time 
to load the ac and battery modules. It correctly detects the AC status 
and the presence of the battery. Nevertheless, I can never get the 
battery charge level (or maybe after a too long time and I didn't wait 
enough). Finally, it causes problem with USB support (or maybe only with 
the usblp module). Here below is an extract of dmesg showing the problem:

 drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 2 if 1 
alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x03F0 pi
d 0x3F11
usbcore: registered new driver usblp
drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: v0.13: USB Printer Device Class driver
usb 2-2: USB disconnect, address 2
drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: usblp0: removed
usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
usb 2-2: khubd timed out on ep0in
usb 2-2: unable to read config index 0 descriptor/start
usb 2-2: can't read configurations, error -110
usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4
drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 4 if 1 
alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x03F0 pi
d 0x3F11
So it seems there is still some work needed to get sbs-cm patch working 
correctly.
