ACPI locking up

ACPI locking up

[Alf629]

Hi all,

I've just compiled kernel 2.6.4 and when I first boot it up, it hangs after this stage:

...
ACPI: Subsystem revision 20040220
tbxface-0117 [03] acpi_load_tables : ACPI Tables successfully acquired
Parsing all Control Methods:...........
Table [DSDT](id F005) - 647 Objects with 59 Devices 174 Methods 17 Regions
Parsing all Control Methods:..
Table [SSDT](id F003) - 3 Objects with 0 Devices 2 Methods 0 Regions
ACPI Namespace succesfully loaded at root c0440b5c
ACPI: IRQ9 SCI: Edge set to Level Trigger.  <- stops right here and stays there. no commands work (ctr-alt-del), only shutdown using the power button.


I've got a Toshiba TE2300 Laptop running a Pentium-M 1.3GHz. I compiled the kernel with ACPI support built-in and with Toshiba laptop extras as a module.

The initial kernels 2.6.1-1.65 and 2.6.3-2.1.253 from redhat both loaded asus_acpi instead of toshiba_acpi, and that is the main reason I've recompiled the kernel, this time without asus laptop support. Could that have any effect on the problem?

Also, I haven't patched the kernel with any of the acpi patches yet? Should I attempt to do that and compile again?

TIA for any advice,
Fred

Build your kernel w/o APIC support and see if it works.

Hi Matthias,

Thanks for your help :) I will try the new patch just released, and if that doesn't work, I'll compile without APIC support.

TIA,
Fred

Compiling without APIC support solved the locking up problem :)

Thanks for all your help on this matter Matthias.

When the kernel booted up, there were a few errors concerning ACPI on the kernel logs. I don't know about their significance, but here are the two lines with errors:
Apr  3 17:55:42 localhost kernel:  psparse-1133: *** Error: Method execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.MC97._PRW] (Node ddefaaa8), AE_NOT_EXIST
Apr  3 17:55:42 localhost kernel:   uteval-0154: *** Error: Method execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.MC97._PRW] (Node ddefaaa8), AE_NOT_EXIST

I've included my system log file as an attachment in case it is needed.

Thanks again for your help on solving this problem.

Cheers,
Fred
