When I was last working on an ACPI update (which I think is what's currently in illumos and OI) Yuri Pankov was helping me test the code, and observed a problem on his HP laptop that looked something like this, if I recall correctly. He did some further experimenting and found that he could make his laptop boot without the ACPI errors by attaching the "EC" device a bit later. He showed me a possible fix, which I asked him to do some more work on, but then he ran out of time or something. Maybe you'd like to pick up his changes and try them? -- Gordon Ross <[email protected]> Nexenta Systems, Inc. www.nexenta.com Enterprise class storage for everyone _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
