Created an attachment (id=23361)
 --> (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=23361)
patched ec.c (hopefully...)

Well, I've tried several things, and I whenever I boot, I _don't_ get the
"ACPI: Look up EC in DSDT" output as expected from the patch.

At first I just doubted that the patch was being applied, but nearly 99% sure
it is being applied.

Just to make absolutely sure nothing distro related was catching me out, I
ditched the Ubuntu way and went completely vanilla.

I downloaded http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.31.3.tar.bz2
#untarred in /usr/src/
#created link in /usr/src/  ( linux -> linux-2.6.31.3 )

cd /usr/src/linux
cp arch/x86/configs/i386_defconfig .config
make oldconfig
make menuconfig #(updated process type)
make bzImage
cp arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-custom

#update grub2 config accordingly:
menuentry "Ubuntu, Linux - 2.6.31 - custom" {
        recordfail=1
        save_env recordfail
        set quiet=1
        insmod ext2
        set root=(hd0,0)
        search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 166e3962-4b1f-442d-8bc7-509fffe1fe69
        linux   /vmlinuz-2.6.31-custom
root=UUID=b5f710cc-11e5-4fa9-9cf2-a9246d5c3f97 ro pnpbios=off
crashkernel=384M-2G:64M,2G-:128M
}

Rebooted.  No dice.

I have attached the screenshot AND the drivers/acpi/ec.c after kernel is
compiled (so you can check it was patched correctly).

So why doesn't the output look correct?  Any ideas Devs?
Am I missing a kernel option maybe?
I really want to help get this bug fixed if I can :)


BTW   I also tried 2.6.32-RC4, as I see it's had some ACPI changes, but still
no go.


Cheers,
jcat
