839074 – rebase thinkpad-acpi to 0.24

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Gerrit Slomma 2012-07-10 20:48:25 UTC

Description of problem:

thinkpad-acpi is too old to acknoledge Lenovo X121e and needs to be rebased to 0.24.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel-2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64
thinkpad-acpi 0.23

How reproducible:

every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. load newest kernel 2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64
2. watch for /proc/acpi/ibm/*
3. nothing there
  
Actual results:

Lenovo X121e is not supported by thinkpad-acpi of standard-kernel of rhel6

Expected results:

Lenovo X121e is supported by thinkpad-acpi of standard-kernel of rhel6

Additional info:

Lenovo X121e is supported by thinkpad-acpi of rhel6-rt-kernel 3.0.30-rt50.62.el6rt.x86_64 which in turn is of version 0.24

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2012-12-14 08:25:46 UTC

This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 3 Gerrit Slomma 2013-11-28 09:53:16 UTC

As of newest RHEL6.5 kernel the problem still persists, thinkpad_acpi is even still the same srcversion:

Comment 4 John Shortt 2015-11-13 18:05:30 UTC

Closing due to lack of attention or information. If you believe this request is still valid, feel free to open a new BZ against the latest version of RHEL6.

Thanks
