Power consumption HZ250 vs. HZ1000

Hi, I did some measurements in order to compare power drain with HZ250 and HZ1000. To measure the actual drain, I used the "smart" battery's internal measurement. (Available with acpi-sbs in /proc/acpi/sbs/SBS0/SB0/state.) No clue how accurate this is. Here some battery details, in case someone kn

Power consumption HZ100, HZ250, HZ1000: new numbers

Hi, I was finally able to get C3 state working. It seems that my BIOS is leaving USB controllers in an active state(?). Without any USB drivers loaded, C3 is not possible. With drivers loaded, but no device plugged in C3 works fine. Kernel is 2.6.13-rc3-mm3 + acpi-sbs. With working C3 there are in

Hi, the changes to drivers/net/phy in git-netdev-all.patch have some issues: 1) phy.c (libphy.ko) lacks MODULE_LICENCE(GPL), but uses GPL-only exports 2) after fixing this (or when compiling statically) it causes the following OOPS (new in rc6-mm1): Badness in kref_get at lib/kref.c:32 [] dump_

Hi, -rc6-mm2 breaks USB unplug for me. Happens with every USB device, gcc-3.3.5 and gcc-3.4.4 as well as preempt and non-preempt and is 100% reproducible. -rc6-mm1 seems fine. Reverting the following part of driver-core-fix-bus_rescan_devices-race.patch fixes this for me: diff -puN drivers/base/
