Can't get ACPI to work on a Panasonic Toughbook CF-52

Can't get ACPI to work on a Panasonic Toughbook CF-52

[Ralf Orlowski]

Hello,

I just got a new Panasonic Toughbook CF-52.
I installed the system with debian sid and except of the ACPI-Support 
the system runs fine under linux.
But so far I had no success to get ACPI working on the system.

Today I installed kernel version 2.6.25-rc9 on the system, because I 
read, there should be a patch included, that make ACPI work on my 
system. But so far it does not.

The kernel runs fine with ACPI disabled, but with ACPI enabled the boot 
just stops with a message about ACPI interrupts.

Does anyone know, what I could try, to get ACPI working, or how I could 
find out more about the problem to may be help to find a solution?

Bye

Ralf

Will you please try to boot the system with the option of "acpi=off" and attach the output of acpidump, lspci -vxxx ?
Thanks.

Thanks for your help.
I just tried the DSDT I downloaded from 
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9915

Now it gets a little bit further when booting with ACPI enabled, but at 
the end it still hangs. :-(

I get several messages "Could not map memory", "AE_NO_MEMORY" and 
"Method parse/execution failed". And then the boot stops.

Is there a way to write these messages somewhere before the system 
stops, so that I could post the exact messages here?

But so far I'm still not able to start the system with ACPI enabled. :-(

Sorry that you can't use the custom DSDT downloaded from the bug9915.
You had better modify the DSDT based on your laptop.
To modify the following will be OK 

 OperationRegion (IGDM, SystemMemory, ASLB, 0x2000)  // This is incorrect.
 The correct definition should be the following:  
    OperationRegion (IGDM, SystemMemory, \ASLB, 0x2000)

Thank you very much for your help. That hint brought me a big step forward.
This way I managed to change the DSDT and compiled it into the kernel.

So now I can boot the system with ACPI enabled.

Now there's only one problem left:
I can send the system into suspend mode now with the power button or if 
I close the display.
But when I try to wake up the system from suspend mode it looks likes it 
wants to start up, but the display stays dark and it seems that it is 
hanging somewhere within the wake up process.
I can't even blindly change to a text console and type a reboot there to 
restart the system.

So are there any hints, where I can look for a configuration option to 
make this work also?

Bye Ralf

P.S. should I post something about the solution for starting the CF-52 
with ACPI enabled somewhere, so that this may also help others?

As I read on the list, there are also other notebooks, that have 
problems with suspend under kernel 2.6.25-rc?.

So today I installed and tested kernel version 2.6.24.4 with the 
exchanged DSDT.

And so far everything seems to work now.
I can boot the system with ACPI enabled and suspend is also working.

If anyone needs a working DSDT and .config for kernel 2.6.24.4 for a 
Panasonic Toughbook CF-52 he can just contact me.

Could this be a case of http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8953 in a 
completely different machine? (Windows somehow seems able to handle these 
broken paths...)

Hello, tough laptop lover! I've got an old GoBook. ACPI values reading 
works very well, but it can't wake up from standby :-(
