Description Gabor Keresztfalvi 2005-01-10 05:52:32 UTC

Distribution: SuSE Pro. 9.2
Hardware Environment: Fujitsu Siemens Amilo A1640 (Mobile AMD Sempron 2800+),
512MB RAM (with latest BIOS: 1.01c)
Software Environment: console
Problem Description: battery related method executions throw an AE_TIME error,
and battery status couldn't be retrieved, if the touchpad is used during the call.
Steps to reproduce:
Use the touchpad (it's enough to simply touch it, you do not need X for it)
then the kernel will say this if I want to read battery status (eg. with
powersave -b):
[ACPI Debug] String: [0x09] "BST Start"
evregion-0405: *** Error: Handler for [EmbeddedControl] returned AE_TIME
 dswexec-0438 [473] ds_exec_end_op        : [Store]: Could not resolve operands,
AE_TIME
 psparse-1138: *** Error: Method execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.BAT0._BST] (Node
c1435668), AE_TIME
acpi_battery-0208 [465] acpi_battery_get_statu: Error evaluating _BST
[ACPI Debug] String: [0x03] "BIf"
evregion-0405: *** Error: Handler for [EmbeddedControl] returned AE_TIME
 dswexec-0438 [474] ds_exec_end_op        : [Store]: Could not resolve operands,

 psparse-1138: *** Error: Method execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.BAT0._BIF] (Node
c14356e8), AE_TIME
acpi_battery-0147 [466] acpi_battery_get_info : Error evaluating _BIF

If I use an external USB mouse, then everything is fine.

I think it's similar to Bug 1093.

I don't know whether you need this...

Comment 7 Gabor Keresztfalvi 2005-01-10 06:36:41 UTC

As Luming Yu suggested in Bug 1093 I'll try the patches from Bug 3851...

Comment 8 Gabor Keresztfalvi 2005-01-10 08:49:40 UTC

With the patches from Bug 3851 (the first hunk of ec-1 patch must be slightly
hacked for 2.6.10) I don't get the AE_TIME error anymore. Instead I've got
"psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio2/input0 lost sync at byte 1", but only
once yet. So far, so good...

BTW may this bug be related to my PCMCIA problem? I simply can't make the PCMCIA
socket work. Or is it another IRQ configuration problem demanding another bugreport?
