kernel stops getting ACPI ac/battery events after some time without ec_intr=0
Last modified: 2006-03-08 14:40:32 UTC
The recent KOTD 2.6.16-rc2-20060205230007-default stops getting AC adapter and battery events after some events have arrived, thus powersave and hal do no longer notice changes in the battery constellation and ac adapter state. Also, the ac_adapter/*/state-file is no longer updated. The acpi interrupt stops increasing on ac-adapter plug/unplug. Reloading the ac or battery module does not help. If i boot with ec_intr=0, everything is fine. The beta3 kernel 2.6.16-rc1-git3-7-default did not show this behaviour. I'll attach a dmesg from a debug-kernel boot into init=/bin/bash.
Created attachment 66600 [details] dmesg from debug-kernel boot.
I have the same problem on a IBM T21 with the SUSE 10.1 Beta3 kernel
With beta3 kernel? That's strange, the new ACPI changes shouldn't be in there. Are you sure that ever worked?
This probably is another sideeffect of the latest lapic/apic default changes... Could you retest with the latest kotd and reopen if you should still see this.
