They fall into two broad categories -- boot/configuration (eg. interrupt issues); and run-time features (eg. acpi events -- power-down, fan control etc). #1038 mentioned here has sort of grown out of control into "anything at all wrong with anybody's IBM T40", so I'm not sure it will ever be completely closed;-) I agree with Andy Grover's comments in this file that fixing the bugs one by one in the current design is the highest priority; and I think that strategy is showing positive results. > fixes appear in Andrew Morton's "-mm" tree, at > > ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/ > Now that you're back, we should probably pull the current 2.6.0 ACPI patch into the mm tree, since 2.6 without it is now somewhat behind 2.4.23. I understand that consolidated plain patches are preferred for the mm tree. I assume that the actual pull into the release tree can still be done using bk so that we can preserve the individual csets and their comments? > Some active subsystem mailing lists > are: > linux-acpi@intel.com acpi-devel@lists.sourceforge.net is preferred -- it includes the Intel alias above plus the rest of planet ACPI. thanks, -Len
