I looked at a few other ASL copies I have and you have an old version.
Have you done a BIOS update recently?
Yours: OEMID=DELL, OEM Table ID=CPi R, OEM Revision=0x27d0040b,
Others: OEMID=DELL, OEM Table ID=CPi R, OEM Revision=0x27d20b07,
Others: OEMID=DELL, OEM Table ID=CPi R, OEM Revision=0x27d3050f,
Update your BIOS and then do acpidump -t to verify your revision is the
latest.

Interestingly, the function that line's in (or the while loop) does seem to be successfully run a few times before it fails. Is there anything else I should be looking for? I've looked around the source tree trying to figure out exactly what AscendingCallback is, but I'm not finding anything. -j -- /* You are not expected to understand this. */ Captain_Tenille http://www.satanosphere.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: Problem w/ ACPI in -CURRENT: Update
Now I'm having an issue with ACPI. I used to hit the power button and that would initiate a proper shutdown. Now it seems to do nothing, but when I reboot the system goes into a suspended state before completing the shutdown. The motherboard beeps three times, the screen goes blank, and will complete the shutdown after I hit the any key. The strange thing is that in the past, a user initiated suspend while the system is running would never blank the screen, but this suspend-before-shutdown does... What do you need from me to help resolve this? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

dmesg is not necessary. The only way to find what is hanging is to keep
working printfs deeper into the _BIF method. Start with
AcpiEvaluateObject in sys/contrib/dev/acpica/nsxfeval.c and sprinkle
printf A, B, C etc. throughout to find where it hangs. Alternatively, if
you have a serial console and gdb, you can step through the method.

The second one did not trigger (I had actually been using ACPI_VPRINT
for a while to get info like that). I have a dump of my ASL here:
http://home.satanosphere.com/bsd/jeremy.asl.gz. As far as my dmesg goes,
I can get you one where it boots w/ ACPI disabled, but when it hangs, it
hangs before / is mounted at all, so I can't really get it. Should I
boot it again and just type the last lines out?

Ok, that's good to know. How about the printfs? Did the second one
trigger? I could use a URL to your ASL and full dmesg on boot:
acpidump -t -d | gzip > jeremy.asl.gz

Tried compiling a kernel with just DDB, and I got no love. It still
hung, and although I tried hitting CTRL-ALT-ESC and typing "tr", it hung
so hard that even that didn't work.

Are you sure you tracked it down to INVARIANTS? Or was it DDB? Please
try with _just_ DDB and see if you can still reproduce the problem. If
so, then when it hangs, hit CTRL-ALT-ESC and type "tr". This will tell
who is hung.
As far as debugging prints, add the following printfs to
acpi_cmbat_get_bif():
printf("Before getting BIF\n");
as = AcpiEvaluateObject(h, "_BIF", NULL, &bif_buffer);
printf("After getting BIF\n");

Re: Problem w/ ACPI in -CURRENT: Update
Please do not start new threads for the same problem as it makes it hard to track down what your problem even was originally. I assume your problem is hangs during boot, it appeared since 5.1R, and it goes away if you enable "options INVARIANTS". Is that right? -Nate ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Problem w/ ACPI in -CURRENT: Update
I'm not sure what's causing these ACPI problems in this recent -CURRENT, but I've found where it's hanging. It's on this line: as = AcpiEvaluateObject(h, "_BIF", NULL, &bif_buffer); in acpi_cmbat.c in sys/dev/acpica/. The function AcpiEvaluateObject is found in contrib/dev/acpica/nsxfeval.c, which hasn't changed in a while. I tried adding a line to print out 'h', but I wasn't sure what to try to show it as. Prining it as an integer gave a weird negative value. What, exactly, should I be looking for here? -j -- /* You are not expected to understand this. */ Captain_Tenille http://www.satanosphere.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
