From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050827 Fedora/1.1-0.2.8.deerpark.alpha2 Firefox/1.0+ Description of problem: Booting the kernel-2.6.12-1.1447_FC4 on my Dell Inspiron 600m, the /proc/acpi/button directory is missing, which contains the lid and power button states. Booting the previous kernel-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4 returns things to normal. The kernel messages look normal: ACPI: AC Adapter [AC] (on-line) Using generic hotkey driver ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT0] (battery present) ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT1] (battery absent) ACPI: Lid Switch [LID] ACPI: Power Button (CM) [PBTN] ACPI: Sleep Button (CM) [SBTN] ibm_acpi: Using generic hotkey driver toshiba_acpi: Using generic hotkey driver ACPI: Video Device [VID] (multi-head: yes rom: no post: no) but the /proc/acpi/button directory is not created. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.12-1.1447_FC4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot new kernel 2. 3. Additional info:
The 1450 kernel from updates-testing does not restore the /proc/acpi/button directory when booted.
I have this as well.
(In reply to comment #2) > I have this as well. Sorry. Just to be clear, I have this problem as well.
kernel 1456 just released also has this lack of a /proc/acpi/button directory.
this should be fixed in the 2.6.13-1.1524_FC4 just pushed to updates-testing
(In reply to comment #5) > this should be fixed in the 2.6.13-1.1524_FC4 just pushed to updates-testing Yes it fixes it. My lid close script work again. But brings up a couple of other problems. PCMCIA service has a problem and I can't get the latest intel wireless driver to install. Do these need a new bug report? [root@eyrie ~]# service pcmcia restart Shutting down PCMCIA services: done. Starting PCMCIA services: cardmgr[8375]: watching 1 socket cardmgr[8375]: could not adjust resource: IO ports 0x3d3-0x3d3: Input/output error done. CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_CCMP=m CONFIG_IEEE80211_CRYPT_TKIP=m Above definitions found. Comment out? [y], n y sed: can't read /lib/modules/2.6.13-1.1524_FC4/build//build/.config: No such fil e or directory
Please file a separate bug for the pcmcia problem. The build//build looks funny, and looks like a bug in the ipw folks configuration script. You may want to bring that up with them upstream.
The 1524 kernel does indeed restore the /proc/acpi/button. I did see the same pcmcia error too.
Ok I added Bug 169268 as a kernel bug in regard to pcmcia. Hope that ok. I look at the wireless problem a bit more. Something odd there though normal its not a problem to get it working.
