------- Comment #50 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2008-09-04 06:15 ------- HPET is usually not enabled in BIOS for SB4xx chipsets. Thus almost all systems with SB4xx chipset do not provide an HPET ACPI table. On this system the vendor obviously decided to enable it. But I guess he just provided an ACPI table without setting up the proper bits to really enable the HPET. (There are some bits in the chipset that must be set to enable interrupts from HPET which are usually disabled.) As ATI did not want to support HPET on SB400 it is not a good idea to activate it. Final solution is to use "nohpet" kernel option for this notebook. (As long as the vendor does not provide a fixed BIOS w/o HPET ACPI table.) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ acpi-bugzilla mailing list acpi-bugzilla@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/acpi-bugzilla
