Can you make sure you booted the updated kernel twice, no other kernel in between (yes sounds weird...), does this still happen? FYI: I am off until 16.04., you may want to ping me again then. If the problem still exists, maybe you can bring the machine into office for a day? -- 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=260794 ------- Comment #4 from trenn@novell.com 2007-04-04 08:43 MST ------- If you tried to boot the updated kernel several times, maybe ec_intr=0 boot param helps? -- 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=260794 ------- Comment #5 from kssingvo@novell.com 2007-04-04 08:59 MST ------- Yes, I'm running latest update kernel. I've only this one installed, so there is no choice of booting a different one. :-) And I booted this one several times now. Waiting till 16.04. is no problem, and bringing to your office neither. but if I forget it that day, it might be later. I added kernel param to grub menu. But this will happen only next time, I boot the machine (later tonight). -- 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=260794 ------- Comment #6 from kssingvo@novell.com 2007-04-12 06:13 MST ------- I discovered this: the ec_intr=0 boot param has no effect. The state is correct as soon as I plug in power cord: unplug/plug is shown correctly every time then. It's even enough to have the power cord plugged in, when booting: the state is correct. But its showing a wrong value only, if I boot without power cord plugged in. Hopefully this helps. :-) -- 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=260794 trenn@novell.com changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |strbac@novell.com, behlert@novell.com Severity|Normal |Major ------- Comment #8 from trenn@novell.com 2007-04-18 03:31 MST ------- I first thought it's the "unload psmouse" or "cleanup psmouse ports" at shutdown problem again. I think this time the Embedded Controller gets confused at boot time. Compiling psmouse as module helps again. Symptom: AC adapter status is wrong if booted with AC unplugged. Replugging helps. This sounds like a minor bug, but ACPI errors at other places with AE_TIME errors also happen and theoretically all kind of ACPI breakage could happen... It may also have to do that we load the fan, thermal and processor module very early via initrd, I forgot to try out not doing that. Klaus, can you remove those modules from: INITRD_MODULES="..." in /etc/sysconfig/kernel, then do a mkinitrd and reboot. I can reproduce this with a 2.6.18 and a 2.6.16 kernel. Latest 2.6.21-rc7 does not show the problem. I wonder whether this really got fixed or whether this is just because psmouse gets activated at some earlier or later time because of other changes in the kernel. This means that this is also is a SLE10 problem, other (certified?) HP machines might also be affected (totally other ACPI parts could be affected) -> increasing severity to major. The problem is that it's likely an Embeddeded Controller firmware bug, EC must not get confused even mouse ports are accessed in parallel. Some input from HP about possible interference between mouse port and EC accesses is needed to come here further. I might have a dirty, (but for SLE10 usable -> need to ask) workaround. Klaus could you (with still fan, thermal and processor loaded in initrd) try this kernel: /mounts/built/mbuild/stravinsky-trenn-66/10.2-i386/ -> I'll try it if I can access the machine tomorrow. -- 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.
