Re: sluggish/very slow usb mouse on hp nx6110 notebook => acpi problem

2005-08-08 Thread JG
hi,

thanks for your reply. i've resolved the thing by changing the kernel
config. i don't know what exactly solved it, my guess is that now i
don't have ACPI as modules anymore but compiled in. could also be other
things, e.g. i didn't compile in preemption anymore.

the new config is attached and i'm running 2.6.12-gentoo-r7 now.

on the weekend i also tested 2.6.13-rc4-mm1, attached is the logfile
from 2.6.13-rc4-mm1, if it doesn't help please tell me, then i'll retest
latest vanilla tomorrow.

Indicates a bug in kacpid or similar. Could you make sure you compile in
"Magic SysRq key" under "Kernel Hacking" and boot the vanilla-2.6.13-rc6
(some recent acpi changes have gone in) and then wait for kacpid
to go nuts and do

Alt+Sysrq+t 4 times and then run 'dmesg -s 10 > logfile' and
send logfile over here so that we can see what kacpid is up to.

If the box becomes so unresponsive you can't extract the log information
it would be good if you could use either network console 
Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt or serial console at
Documentation/serial-console.txt, both require an extra computer
though...

hm, i currently have "acpi=off noacpi noapic reboot=b" as kernel
parameter.

if i remove the acpi stuff and enable acpi, the usb mouse works fine..
but after some time (5-10min) the kacpid process goes havoc and eats
all cpu and the whole system is unresponsive- that's the reason i added
those acpi=off parameters the first time when installing gentoo..

i tested with gentoo-2.6.12-r7 and vanilla-2.6.13rc5
