a patch for fixing this issue
Comment 2 Shaohua 2003-11-19 16:53:41 UTC 
acglobal.h is platform independent, but your method is platform dependent. So 
I guess you should find another solution.
Comment 3 Robert Moore 2003-12-03 14:19:39 UTC 
I'd like to see a call trace of this problem.  The acpi_generic_address is 
compiled under #pragma pack(1) already, and we carefully extract data from it.  
This is not to say that a case has been missed -- and the call trace would help 
with that.
Comment 4 Luming Yu 2003-12-03 19:01:30 UTC 
But gcc generate unaligned address like below:

[root@acpi-tiger 2.4-acpi]# grep acpi_gbl_xpm1a System.map 
e000000004cbde89 B acpi_gbl_xpm1a_enable

This patch is based on Bob's suggestion
Comment 6 Robert Moore 2004-02-20 15:11:09 UTC 
Fix integrated into 20040220
Comment 7 Wang, Zhenyu Z 2004-09-20 00:08:25 UTC 
2.6 kernel still has this issue on IPF. So reopen this.
unaligned access happens both on boot and sci triggered.
pls, see the call trace attached.

unaligned access call trace
Comment 9 Robert Moore 2004-09-22 15:13:16 UTC 
The call trace points toward something to do with the GPEs, but there is not 
enough info to go further than that.  You will need to debug it down to the 
exact problem.
Comment 10 Wang, Zhenyu Z 2004-11-17 01:26:04 UTC 
Bob fixed this in ACPICA 20041015.
Comment 11 Robert Moore 2004-11-17 13:57:37 UTC 
Should be fixed
Comment 12 Len Brown 2004-11-17 17:09:34 UTC 
ACPICA 20041015 shipped in 2.6.10-rc2 - closing.
