Hi list, Graham, nice to see that I am not all alone :) I too have the same status with the acpi-20020726 patch on a similar model (mine is 1720US). However, my kernel just keeps repeating "schedule_task(): kevent has not started" after the alleged two "PCI Interrupt Link enabled" statements. It never freezes. Just before these statements I used to get an error: "pci_bind_0191[22] acpi_pci_bind device 00:00:1d.02 not present in PCI namespace". Hawkins, pointed out that my DSDT had a USB entry at that ID. However, physically I have just two USB ports. So I decided to re-modify my dsdt.asl by removing that particular entry in my namespace. This modification did help to remove the above error (only). Just out of curiosity I did check the asl files of couple of other members (Faye and Sourov -- Compaq presario 27xx/28xx). To my surprise I did find similar kind of extra USB entries in their DSDT namespace (but their kernel boot fine). I ain't sure whatelse to do. Tght that it might be a good idea to get familiar with ACPI specs. So after 20 kernel compiles I decided to spend my next few days on reading ACPI 2.0 specs (www.acpi.info). Hope to find something which can help me fix my "buggy" ACPI tables. regards -- *******************************--------------********************************** GVS Prabhakar Reddy Research Assistant Model Analysis Lab (GIS Lab) Dept. of Biological Resources Engineering University of Maryland College Park, MD, 20742. tel: 301-405-0109 (o) : 301-982-7148 (r) fax: 301-314-9023 email: reddyg-0KJXeWapumv2fBVCVOL8/A@public.gmane.org **************************--------------------********************************* ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Dice - The leading online job board for high-tech professionals.
