Many recent HP laptops are affected by this problem (often called "bad state"). It would be enough to compile psmouse as a module and remove it before shutdown: # echo "/sbin/modprobe -r psmouse" > /etc/init.d/host.local Unfortunately openSuSE's kernel comes with psmouse built-in so it doesn't work. I also can't recompile my kernel because the support for my Wireless card is not in the kernel sources (ipw3945). PLEASE FIX THE KERNEL CONFIGURATION!

Are you sure? Loading psmouse as a module will fix the battery state?
Take a look at this website: http://emisca.altervista.org/nx7400/.
This says nothing about battery problems. Also, the nx7400 i have here does not have a battery problem. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Are you sure? Loading psmouse as a module will fix the battery state?
Yes, it does. Follow this instruction to have a working laptop: 1) install the kernel-sources, gcc, gcc-c++ and ncurses-devel from SUSE 2) in /usr/src/linux do "make cloneconfig" 3) in the files /usr/src/linux/.config replace the line "CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y" by "CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=m" 4) compile and install the kernel (make; make modules_install; make install) 5) in the file /etc/sysconfig/kernel" add the value "psmouse" to the variable MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT 6) to the file /etc/init.d/halt.local add the line "rmmod psmouse" 7) Shut down the laptop 8) Unplug the battery 9) Wait 5 seconds and plug the battery again 10) Power on the laptop and forget that

Have you read it?!? Take a look at "ACPI problems and fixes, bad state problem" paragraph...
Also, the nx7400 i have here does not have a battery problem.
There are many models called NX7400... maybe you're so luck to have one working out-of-box. However this is the only way to make "bad state" go away: I've tested it and it works! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Sorry but this bug makes the distro (which is a very good distro) almost useless on my laptop so I changed priority...

Which one is fixed? The ACPI problem or the CPUfreq one? I had both of them with openSuSE 10.2...

I don't know about the HP NX 6125, but on my nc 6320, you have to rmmod psmouse before you shutdown or reboot the computer, otherwise something upsets the BIOS and it won't run at full speed on next boot up.
The proposed patch fix exactly this one on the HP NX 6125.
Do you really still see the cpufreq not going up to the highest freq with 10.2 final? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I checked the CPU frequency when I recompiled the kernel and it went up to 1.33GHz and down to 1GHz. I have a Centrino Core Duo 1.66GHz.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=226069 ------- Comment #9 from trenn@novell.com 2006-12-12 08:46 MST ------- Alessandro, I am quite sure you are wrong. I just checked with a SLE10 kernel without the mentioned patch and I checked with a 10.2 kernel (2.6.18.2-34, not a vanilla this one might not have that patch yet!) on a HP nc6400. The SLE10 kernel (patch is in SP1, this one should also work then) shows the symptom, I only have 1.66 GHz The 10.2 kernel has this fixed and goes up to 2GHz. So please do not recompile yourself and recheck on a 10.2 final, binary kernel and your machine should go up to 1.66GHz. These problems have nothing to do with the mouse, it's just pure luck that these bugs can be workarounded by a totally unrelated module. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

OK I'll try that but I don't really care too much about speed, what I *really* need is that ACPI works the way it should (when I connect/disconnect my laptop from AC power, AC adapter and battery status MUST update!).
These problems have nothing to do with the mouse, it's just pure luck that these bugs can be workarounded by a totally unrelated module.
I don't know if it's a BIOS bug or a kernel bug... removing the psmouse module before shutdown/reboot works. Moreover it's harmless to compile PS/2 mouse support as a module so I don't see why it's built in the kernel. The only thing I'm asking for is to change a "y" in a "m" in the kernel configuration, that's all. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=226069 ------- Comment #11 from trenn@novell.com 2006-12-12 12:59 MST ------- Be careful: I also run into this with 10.2. AFAIK this is because I booted into SLED10 once and got the limited states. The bad system state survives a reboot and even shutdown somehow. I removed battery and AC for a minute or so, that should help, but didn't, maybe I should have removed the power for longer time, no idea. At lease it should work with a "only 10.2 booted system"... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I know... it's the stragest thing at all... When I remove my battery the system goes back to normal state in few seconds. However, I'm also using Ubuntu 6.10 and its kernel has psmouse compiled as a module... Maybe unloading that module before shutdown/reboot is not the right solution and it's just a workaround but, at the moment, is the only *secure* way to solve the problem. I hope that either HP will finally fix the BIOS or someone will find a good patch for the kernel as soon as possible. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

The workaround is removing psmouse before shutdown. Also, not related with above, max cpu freq is not reached by default when starting OpenSuse 10.2. I have to do cpufreq-set -c 0 -u 1833000 ; cpufreq-set -c 1 -u 1833000 and then all is working as it should. I would be happy to test your patched kernel. Thanks.
