Yes, but it asks you to send it to <linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org>, not the
random person who answered your question earlier!  So I'm forwarding it
to the list.

There were lots of attachments, but I think only "acpidump.out" is
needed.  The developers are able to extract  individual tables
themselves using acpixtract.  They can always ask if they need more
information :).

Most importantly, you don't say what the error message was that asked
you to send this.  Please show it.


IIRC, your original error was on boot.  I assumed it happened on every
boot - are you just asking again?  Maybe I assumed wrong, and it's just
happened a second time?  It's not really clear in your message.

Thanks
Alan
