Description Ani 2008-02-06 23:22:13 UTC 
Earliest failing kernel version: 2.6.23.14-107.fc8
Distribution: Fedora 8
Hardware Environment: ThinkPad X61
Problem Description:
If I boot 2.6.23 or 2.6.24 kernel without any command line options, the 'mute' key does not work. If I add acpi_osi="Linux" command line option in both kernels (2.6.23 and .24) the 'mute' key starts working as expected.

Will attach dmesg output and dmidecode

Comment 6 Len Brown 2008-02-15 12:35:31 UTC 
The patch below shipped in 2.6.25-rc1-git4
to work around this BIOS issue.

I'll sync it into the previous .stable releases as
part of a blacklist update.
