------- Comment #41 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2008-11-25 23:52 ------- It seems that this issue is related with EC. >From the acpidump we can know that there exists the error in evaluating the _REG object of EC device, which causes that the EC device can't be initialized correctly. >[ 0.781695] ACPI Error (psparse-0530): Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.EC0_.ECRI] (Node ffff88013ba6b9d0), AE_AML_NO_RETURN_VALUE >[ 0.781975] ACPI Error (psparse-0530): Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.EC0_._REG] (Node ffff88013ba6b9b0), AE_AML_NO_RETURN_VALUE As the _REG object can't executed successfully, the EC GPE handler will be uninstalled. But the ECRG flag is still set and the EC space handler isn't uninstalled , which causes that the EC internal register will be accessed in AML code.(ECRG flag is set in _REG object, which indicates that EC operation region is already accessible). >if (ACPI_FAILURE(status)) { > acpi_remove_gpe_handler(NULL, ec->gpe, &acpi_ec_gpe_handler); > return -ENODEV; > } In such case as the EC device is not initialized correctly, the following warning message will be complained. >[ 11.260018] ACPI: EC: acpi_ec_wait timeout, status = 0xff, event = "b1=0" >[ 11.260082] ACPI: EC: input buffer is not empty, aborting transaction >[ 11.260147] ACPI Exception (evregion-0419): AE_TIME, Returned by Handler for [EmbeddedControl] [20080609] >[ 11.260314] ACPI Error (psparse-0530): Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.EC0_.BTIF] (Node ffff88013ba6db10), AE_TIME >[ 11.260616] ACPI Error (psparse-0530): Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.BTIF] (Node ffff88013ba72f10), AE_TIME Thanks. -- 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
