I assume you will still notify >> the user automatically, something like "acpi: ec: GPE storm detected, >> try booting with ec=poll". My apologies. I seem to have tested this but neglected to reply :-(. I've been running with this for a week or so now. I've been bashing the hotkeys (and holding down the ones with autorepeat), and it works fine. Plus I get the message in the kernel log suggesting ec_intr=0 if the keyboard doesn't work. It's all good. Thanks Alan
