[Bug 232403] New: Broken DSDT on ACER Travelmate 661
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=232403 Summary: Broken DSDT on ACER Travelmate 661 Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: RC 5 Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: michael.eschweiler@t-online.de QAContact: qa@suse.de As s2ram didn't even work with a minimum console (init=/bin/bash) I fixed the DSDT as discribed at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=122145 and integrated in the initrd. Now s2ram -f -s works fine - but only on runlevel 3 (with framebuffer). At runlevel 5 it still doesn't work but this seems to be a problem of the x-server (see bug 230123). -- 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.

Can you also give a short description what happens without this one, pls. Does it freeze and at which point? Is this the latest BIOS for that machine? This has not that high priority, I'll have a look at it as soon as there is some time. Stefan, instead of a kernel workaround (which is nearly not worth it for a fistful of machines...), convincing ACER to include this would be great. I know ACER does not care (compared to lenove or hp) that much about linux, but this one is a really safe, obvious BIOS fix, maybe they pick it up... -- 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=232403 ------- Comment #5 from michael.eschweiler@t-online.de 2007-01-12 11:08 MST ------- Yes, this is the latest BIOS for this machine Version 3A19. I tried (very shortly) SuSE 10.1 and s2ram -f -s worked (not very stable), but only in runlevel 3 - in runlevel 5 the laptop allways crashed. With 10.2 not even on the lowest level (init=/bin/bash) a resume was possible - at best, the keyboard worked so that I could reboot. In runlevel 3 I tried all options but the laptop allways crashed - not even the keyboard was available. After repairing the DSDT now in runlevel 3 it works fine, in runlevel 5 it works too, but it seems that the x-server has a bug (see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230123 see also https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230668 for s2disk) BTW: The change mentioned in Comment #4 was not the only one: After line 300 I added a new line with Return(Package(0x02){0x00, 0x00}) but this maybe is of secondary importance... -- 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.

Return(Package(0x02){0x00, 0x00}) but this maybe is of secondary importance... Yes this should not hurt.
Not returning a value on _STA (status) method of a device seems to affect s2ram. This possibly can be workarounded in kernel, I will have a look. But as said, there are higher priority bugs I have to look at first. AFAIK we don't have much (any?) contact to Acer... but it may be worth a try, especially because the Intel firmwarekit BIOS test (http://linuxfirmwarekit.org) should exactly throw this error at exactly the DSDT lines (it's a simple disassemble and recompile of DSDT with Intel's iasl tools) and the fix is save in regards to M$ OS. Stefan, could you give it a try to contact ACER, maybe we have more luck when Novell is asking... or just remove the NEEDINFO tag if you think it's worthless... -- 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.
