What I found is that the ACPI mode is discerned by executing the inw instruction (with port 0xfe10 on this machine). The result with the default kernel is 0x0000; the result with the pae kernel is 0xffff. This erroneous state information prevents the "transition" from taking place with the pae kernel. For comparison, on the Athlon 1333 machine the result from the same inw instruction is 0x0000; this is the same with either the default or the pae kernel. -- 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.
