Did any earlier kernel work OK?  If so, which version(s)?

Thanks.
Comment 6 ykzhao 2008-09-27 17:56:31 UTC
Will you please attach the output of acpidump?
thanks.
Comment 7 ykzhao 2008-09-27 18:06:14 UTC
Hi, Eugeny
    It seems that there exist two issues on your box:
    a. ACPI Error:
       This problem is related with the BIOS.
       Please try the patch in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11374#C6.
    
    b. hang on reboot:
       Can you confirm whether the box always hang while reboot on all the version kernel?
       Can you confirm whether the system can be rebooted normally on windows?
    
    thanks.

I am try patch http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11374#C6

Comment 11 ykzhao 2008-10-05 19:29:05 UTC
Hi, Eugeny
    If there is no reboot problem in runlevel 3, it seems that "hang on reboot" is  not related with ACPI. 
    After the patch is applied, there is no warning message. In fact it is harmless but confusing. And the problem can be fixed by the patch in
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11374#C6
    
    According to the problem description it seems that there exists another issue(No battery status).
    Can you confirm whether the problem still exists?
    Thanks.
Comment 12 Eugeny Shkrigunov 2008-10-06 10:22:42 UTC
It seems the problem with battery status does not disappear. Output of acpidump, acpitool the same as in attachments above.
Comment 13 ykzhao 2008-10-10 00:14:37 UTC
Please attach the output of "cat /proc/acpi/battery/*/* " after the system is booted.
Thanks.

Comment 15 ykzhao 2008-10-24 00:41:24 UTC
From the dmesg it seems that there exists the following message:
    >ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT1] (battery present)
    
    It means that the battery is detected. The problem is that there is no battery status. Maybe it is related with the kernel configuration.
    Will you please enable the CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER/CONFIG_ACPI_SYSFS_POWER in kernel configuration and see whether the issue about the battery status still exists?
    As OS reports that the battery is detected, IMO there exists the battery status if you enable the CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER in kernel configuration.
    Thanks.

After CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER enable(sorry, was disabled because "Deprecated power /proc/acpi directories" in kernel make menuconfig) /proc/acpi/battery apper and output of cat /proc/acpi/battery/*/*

Looks like all fine. Thank you very much. Problem with reboot seems related to ATI proprietary GPU driver. And with patch  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11374#C6 no more hang on booting with EC errors.
Comment 18 ykzhao 2008-10-26 22:12:29 UTC
Thanks for the test.
   Now it seems that the battery is also OK after the CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER is enabled in kernel configuration. 
   And after applying the patch in comment #16, the warning message disappears.
   So the bug will be marked as resovled(CODE_FIX).
   Thanks.
