Description

That's just a warning that the APM support will be removed next year. I would like to re-open this as the issue is getting much worse - I am now getting a constant message that APM is going to be discontinued in 2012 (!) and that repeats non-stop to the point where my machine becomes unusable. Looking at the code for 2.6.41.4-1 (apm_32.c) the warning message has been changed from warn once to printk, which causes all this. The reason I *have* to use apm instead of acpi is this: Jan 15 04:07:18 test1 kernel: [ 0.000000] ACPI: Vendor "IBM " System "TP600E " Revision 0x105 has a known ACPI BIOS problem. Jan 15 04:07:18 test1 kernel: [ 0.000000] ACPI: Reason: Incorrect _ADR. This is a non-recoverable error Jan 15 04:07:18 test1 kernel: [ 0.000000] ACPI: Disabling ACPI support In other words, this is a known ERRATA on IBM Thinkpad 600E machines preventing ACPI from being used (if you know how to activate/use ACPI and completely ditch APM I am certainly open to suggestions!). At present, the only way to use the above kernel on my machine is comment out the above message and recompile the kernel.

That was fixed in 2.6.41.5 or newer.

I have no idea to be honest. Have you checked to see if there is a BIOS update for your machine that fixes the ACPI issue? According to my update repository, I have the latest version of the kernel - 2.6.41.4-1 (2.6.41.9-1 is still in "testing"). Am I missing something? As for my BIOS, I tried to do that last year and could not find a solution, but will check again in case something has come up. Thanks!

I think 2.6.41.9 will be pushed to the update repository later today. |
