dmesg with the patch applied

This is the dmesg output with the patch applied.
Comment 5 Alexey Starikovskiy 2008-02-11 06:46:26 UTC 
Jiri,
Original dmesg errors should lead to AC adapter being not found, do you see it now?
Do you still have any ACPI-related errors with the patch applied?

closed.
Comment 8 Alexey Starikovskiy 2008-03-04 15:39:21 UTC 
The patch is going to be reverted, so re-opening the bug
Comment 9 Alexey Starikovskiy 2008-03-04 15:51:30 UTC 
Robert,
There seems to be a race between installation of EC space handler and GPE handler enabling, which tries to access the EC-space.

Delay enabling of GPE to after device initialization

This patch should restore the proper order.
Comment 11 Robert Moore 2008-03-05 14:17:22 UTC 
We will have to make sure that this doesn't break something else; the initialization code can be extremely fragile.

    ACPI: GPE enabling should happen after EC installation
    
    GPE could try to access EC region, so should not be enabled before
    EC is installed

Hmm, jiri,
With an un-patched kernel, can you confirm that a BIOS upgrade can fix the problem ?
