You could try a cat /proc/acpi/event to make sure that you are actually getting these events no stop. I am guessing that it is a faulty dsdt since you got the same the behavior on the different kernel. Can you tell if this also happens with 2.4 kernel? - 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/
