Change set acpi_enforce_resources default to strict ?

2009-01-13 Thread Hans de Goede
Hi Dave, The ACPI subsystem has a kernelcmdline setting called acpi_enforce_resources which defaults to lax, I would like to propose to change this the default to strict in *rawhide*. As you may (not) know I'm an active contributor to the lm_sensors project both to the userspace tools as to

Hi All, I'm a Linux enthusiast / developer. Lately I'm mainly active doing development for Fedora and writing kernel drivers (and as my day job I'm a lecturer in Computer Science). Fedora has a policy of not shipping a heavily patched kernel, but instead tries to work with upstream to get

2008-01-10 Thread Hans de Goede
Hi All, In the thread I started about Fedora perhaps being to cutting edge, it was said that I shouldn't complain as there is only one problem left with the juju stack which is a bug with via vt6306 cards in OHCI 1.0 cards. Further analysis of the problem has learned that this is not true,

Need to use i586 kernel and i386 glibc for via c7 epia system

Hi all, A bit offtopic for this list, but this is the best place I could think of to discuss this. A friend of mine had trouble with 2 different via c7 epia motherboards (mini itx boards with single chip chipset with unichrome integrated graphics) machines. They would freeze (hard) pretty

Chance of dynamic loading of alternate AML code getting in?

Hi all, AFAIK ubuntu includes a patch to allow dynamic loading of alternate AML code dumps, to work around bios ACPI bugs. I know BIOS's and the kernel ACPI code are getting betterm but for some laptops this is needed, any chance this could be included into the Fedora kernel? Also any
