Well, well, well. Now I know that I'm not alone in the GPE storm. I have no idea what it is. But I'm not so lucky to see those messages in the /var/log/messages file. Here is my notebook config and, below, the few messages I get. ----------- Notebook: Philips 13NB8504/78 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philips 13NB8504/78 - Only available in Brasil http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?scy=BR&slg=BRP&cat=CA00304_CA&sct=SU00331_SU&session=20081006201907_201.17.109.195&grp=PC_PRODUCTS_GR&ctn=13NB8504/78&mid=Link_ProductInformation&hlt=Link_ProductInformation It's an OEM version of the Twinhead J13S Series http://www.twinhead.com.tw/product_notebook/J13S.asp Model: Intel Core 2 Duo T7300 (4MB L2 Cache) / 2GB RAM Videocard: IntelĀ® GM965 built-in (Mobile Intel 965 Express chipset family) Network: Integrated 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet VIA Velocity family Gigabit Wifi: IntelĀ® Pro/Wireless 3945ABG (802.11a/b/g) Bluetooth: Yes (CSR Bluetooth Device) Webcam: 1.3 Mega-pixel (USB2.0 UVC PC Camera) Touchpad: Synaptics PS/2 port touchpad (It worked fine with Mandriva, and with the from-DVD FC9 installation. After some updates it still points but the pad has no 'two tap' funcition. Not a big problem at all.) Hotkey (Home, Eject, Suspend ...): Media player quick key (only in Windows) Display: WXGA TFT LCD screen (1280 x 800) OS: 32bit Vista Home Preminum (original) / Fedora 9 Kernel: 2.6.25.14-108 - The newers hang on boot!!! -- See below! Suspend on Disk: Only in Windows Suspend on RAM: Only in Windows Comments: BIOS is AMI v2.061 It works fine with Windows Vista. I've used Mandriva a few weeks and liked it. Mandriva Live was the only one booting then. Later tried a Live version of Fedora 9 that was booting so installed FC9. It works very good if I do not mess with the latest core versions. I'm stuck with kernel 2.6.25.14-108 because it simply do not boot with any newer one. The grub does its job, then comes that message =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Booting 'Fedora (2.6.26.5-45.fc9.i686)' Root (hd0.4) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partiotion type 0x83 kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26.5-45-fc9.i686 ro root=UUID=c93e83zz-037d-4806-907d-8311b0437f98 rhgb quiet [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x3000, size=0x203c60] initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.26.5-45.fc9.i686.img [Linux-initrd @ 0x37d58000, 0x29739a bytes] Decompressing Linux... Paersing ELF... done Boorting the kernel ACPI: EC: GPE storm detected, disabling EC GPE =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= and nothing else happens. I'm looking for a solution for it. In the meanwhile I'll be with my trustfull core 2.6.25.14-108. If you know how to deal with such bad behaviour, please let me know. I've been thinking about a small modification of the kernel boot line. Maybe a parameter near the "rhgb quiet" to disable the ACPI and get rid of theis storm. Hi all, I've been poking some parameters into the boot command line in grub. I found one (acpi=off) that makes it boot, but it looses all acpi functions. I consider it a kind of a dirty job. It's nonsense to disable acpi in a notebook, which is my case. In fact, in a very few times, the system boots without that parameter, but I could not identify why it works or not. In a nutshell, I added the parameter to the grub boot line, and it looks like this: ... ro acpi-off root=UUID=c93e83zz-037d-4806-907d-8311b0437f98 rhgb quiet So I believe there is something mistaken in the module that interfaces with the acpi hardware. I hope it is of any help for anyone who can deal with this issue. Gil Same bug on a MSI Wind.
