Bug#566574: linux-2.6: Yet another acpi_enforce_resources=lax victim

2010-08-24 Thread Dave Witbrodt
Package: linux-2.6 Severity: normal I believe this is another case of a user needing acpi_enforce_resources=lax in their kernel boot parameters. Ferry, can you try the advice provided here, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=568126#44 and see if it helps. HTH, Dave W. --

Bug#576408: looks like acpi_enforce_resources again

2010-08-21 Thread Dave Witbrodt
