This was fixed April 3 and the updated kernel with the fix (2.6.29.1-52) has been available since April 7 . I gather then the problem was the Fedora-11-Beta upgrade which included this kernel... kernel-2.6.29-0.258.2.3.rc8.git2.fc11.i586 and even though I upgraded after first boot, the kernel module was already loaded. Thanks - were you going to 'close' the bug report? not fixed in F11 snapshot 1 with kernel-2.6.29.1-54.f11.i586 Switching back to assigned based on Steven's comment that it's not fixed with a newer revision than Chuck cited. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers If the machine in question is the hard-drive model, that should be fixed in the next kernel (after 2.6.29.1-73.) We were only blacklisting that module for the AAO with flash drive in the earlier update. Steven, can you test with the next kernel when it shows up in Koji or Rawhide? Thanks. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers this behaviour has been fixed in F11 beta with kernel-2.6.2-9.1-85.fc11.i586 from koji, the thing is that as the acer_wmi module can't access anything on the acer aspire one's (all of the 8.9" versions anyway) wmi implementation so it should never be loaded on these machines, i never noticed any bad effects on F10 but i blacklisted it way back in december anyway just to be safe. anyway thanks for the fix :) phil *kernel-2.6.29.1-85.fc11.i586 :) Thanks for confirming the fix. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers |
