It includes a fix for a bug causing processor and thermal drivers to fail to load, as well as a few others. Thanks -- Regards -- Andy ---------------------------------------- 01 November 2002. Summary of changes for version 20021101. 1) Linux Fixed a problem introduced in the previous release where the Processor and Thermal objects were not recognized and installed in /proc. This was related to the scope type change described below. 2) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: Fixed a problem where platforms that have a GPE1 block but no GPE0 block were not handled correctly. This resulted in a "GPE overlap" error message. GPE0 is no longer required. Removed code added in the previous release that inserted nodes into the namespace in alphabetical order. This caused some side-effects on various machines. The root cause of the problem is still under investigation since in theory, the internal ordering of the namespace nodes should not matter. Enhanced error reporting for the case where a named object is not found during control method execution. The full ACPI namepath (name reference) of the object that was not found is displayed in this case. Note: as a result of the overhaul of the namespace object types in the previous release, the namespace nodes for the predefined scopes (_TZ, _PR, etc.) are now of the type ACPI_TYPE_LOCAL_SCOPE instead of ACPI_TYPE_ANY. This simplifies the namespace management code but may affect code that walks the namespace tree looking for specific object types. ----------------------------- Andrew Grover Intel Labs / Mobile Architecture andrew.grover@intel.com - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
