[opensuse] compaq 6715b acpi problems and opensuse 11.1
Hi list, I'm having hard time after updated my 11.0 box to 11.1 (amd64). (6715b and 6517b are known to have bad bios and acpi ) 11.0 was running wuite well, I only needed edd=off boot parameter. But with 11.1 and every kernel with it (I also tried newest from opensuse.org/repositories/kernel:) I can run system only with "apm=off acpi=off irqpoll" and performance is really bad. If I boot with ony "irqpoll" parameter system boots and loads quite nicely , even loads xorg put suddenly it goes down. Could anyone help me to track/debug this problem? Or is anyone running 11.1 with same hardware, if so what's your settings?

I have a similar problem, 11.1 64bit on HP 6715b with AMD Sempron. Installation in safe mode went though while in normal mode it blocks with black screen after loading installation stuff (I did net instalation). Now I'm obviously without ACPI functions, I namely loaded later the KPowersave and it doesn't recognize when notebook is on power and when on battery. Not to mention that its fan works pretty loudly all the time. What to do now, do I need to install something extra to enable ACPI? Any help greatly appreciated.

To enable acpi you need only edit boot options. To try different boot options , theres different bios versions of this model so you could be lucky and get acpi working At boot on grub menu, press esc to exit graphical menu. select your kernel version. - Press e to edit grub commands. - Select line starting with "kernel" - Press e to edit line - Try to clean out safemoude settings like apm=off acpi=off, but leave standard option like root= resume= ... - Press enter to confirm changes - Press b to boot with edited settings. If you find something working you could edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to make those setting default. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks Petri! I later remember and did something similar, now the notebook works with ACPI pretty well. Best regards Janko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
I'm still having problems. Can you please email output of lspci command. I would like compare it with my machine. Ouput of "hwinfo --bios | grep Product" would be usefull also. Cheers, Petri Janko Mivšek wrote:

It seems that nohz=off boot parameter did the trick. My machine is now running at nice speed and with out any lockups. Thanks for everyone who tried to help me, Petri JosipBroz wrote:

Hi, Petri! It seems we're using exact same machines (64-bit x2 Turion 2 GHz, 160 GB HD, 2 GB RAM, ATI 1200, Broadcom 4321 wireless, AuthenTec fingerprint reader etc.) and I can say HAL has improved from OS11.0. My 64-bit OS11.1 install is working out-of-the-box, and the only thing I can report is I haven't installed anything non-default. Meaning: no kernel compilation - just using the default kernel, no proprietary ATI driver installed, no messing with the default sound configuration, nothing at all out of the default - except for the wireless which (of course) wouldn't work with the default SuSE open-source free driver, so I had to install the proprietary broadcom-wl from Packman. The problem may be in your trying to update instead of making a clean install? I never needed ANY kernel params on this machine, be it with OS11.0, OS11.1 or Mandriva 2008. Moreover, it seems that now even the fingerprint sensor might finally work (haven't tried it yet, though). I've never heard of the "bad BIOS and ACPI" you're talking about. My machine is about 8 months old, so you possibly have an older machine with an older BIOS revision? I'd suggest you try and install OS11.1 from scratch on a spare partition if you have one and see how that works. One warning though: all the above goes for KDE3.x. If I log into KDE4.x, my machine gets screwed in no time as well, so maybe that may be your problem? Cheerz and good luck! Dne sreda 14 januar 2009 ob 18:41:18 je Petri Asikainen napisal(a):

Yes, I did update from 11.0. I don't usually believe or do clean installs in linux world. but right now I'm so desperate that I'll try that. I have not my laptop right now, so I cannot check model version number right now. Bios is updated to latest. About bad acpi and bios: Take a look /usr/src/linux/arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c or (http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/2861/)there's some irq-related work arounds for 6715b and others. Well, I have one spare-partition to test clean install, hope that helps. Cheers, Petri JosipBroz wrote:

I have really bad luck with this. I did new clean installation but it didn't help. Could someone running opensuse 11.1 with 6715b provide output from /sbin/lspci for me.
