This is not only laptop issue but also generic ACPI brokeness. Trying to turn off computer with Gigabyte GA-7VT880L - VIA KT880 motherboard hangs after acpi command is issued. Turning off the computer worked in FC2. I have a similiar set of problems with FC3 on an Acer Aspire 1684 (kernel 2.6.10-1.741). Battery management via acpi is not functional even though the acpi driver has initialised w/o errors: ACPI: Power Resource [PFN0] (off) ACPI: Power Resource [PFN1] (off) ACPI: Fan [FAN0] (off) ACPI: Fan [FAN1] (off) ACPI: Processor [CPU0] (supports C1 C2 C3) ACPI: Processor [CPU0] (supports 8 throttling states) ACPI: Thermal Zone [THRM] (55 C) speedstep-centrino: invalid ACPI data speedstep-centrino: try compiling with CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO_ACPI enabled ACPI wakeup devices: ACPI: (supports S0 S3 S4 S5) ACPI: Power Button (FF) [PWRF] ACPI: Lid Switch [LID] ACPI: Sleep Button (CM) [SLPB] The KDE Battery Management control reports : Your computer seems to have a partial ACPI installation. ACPI was probably enabled, but some of the sub-options were not - you need to enable at least 'AC Adaptor' and 'Control Method Battery' and then rebuild your kernel . This is confirmed by the lack of any files in the /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/ and /proc/acpi/battery/ directories. Some events are reported by acpi_listen - the lid, sleep & power buttons. But none for battery or ac adapter. HTH Kernel update to 2.6.10-1.741_FC3 fixed this issue for me. Nicholas, can you try the latest errata please ? I just tried with 2.6.10-1.766_FC3 kernel and more events seen to be reported but sometimes an ac unplug is not noticed at all and a lid close or open is not reported or is reproted the next time I plug the ac adapter in (which can be a very long time after the lid is open/closed). An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem. If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version field of this bug to 'fc4'. Thank you. No, this problem is not present in FC4 and I belive it is fixed in FC3 as well. Since FC2 is now probably considered obsolete, you can close this bug. |
