This doesn't appear to fix the 64bit alignment problems which we had while
trying to use the code on ia64. Any news on when/whether Intel will accept
our 64bit patches?

ACPI CA updated

2001-10-30 Thread Mike Smith 


I've just updated the ACPI CA subsystem to the Intel 20011018 snapshot. 

This primarily fixes a couple of bugs in the ACPI interpreter; see the
changelog at 

  http://developer.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads/CHANGES.txt

for full details.

These changes may fix some situations where:

 - Devices had wrong or invalid resources.
 - The interpreter failed to communicate with BIOS SMI code.
 - The system would fault on certain AML code.
 - Debugging output was incorrect.

Please report any problems with this update to the ACPI list at
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Regards,
Mike
