Hi,

Since several kernel-versions now the asus_acpi module is broken on several=
=20
Samsung notebooks, it causes an oops when loading and a kernelpanic when=20
compiled into the kernel.

This is known for ages. There was a patch by Karol Kozimor shortly after th=
e=20
bug became public that was ignored.
The code was changed so the patch failed. Christian Aichinger again made a=
=20
patch. It was ignored as well.

Now, finally the patch is in the mm-source, I asked Andrew Morton to push i=
t=20
to Linus so 2.6.15 will be fixed, Andrew said this is up to Len Brown. No=20
Reply from him.

Now it seems that 2.6.15 is going to be released soon, the patch still has =
not=20
made it into linus tree.

This is not "some minor issue", this completely breaks the usage of current=
=20
vanilla-kernels on certain Hardware. Can please, please, please anyone in t=
he=20
position to do this take care that this patch get's accepted before 2.6.15?

The patch is available inside mm-sources or here:
http://www.int21.de/samsung/p30-2.6.14.diff

If I should send it to anyone else or if there's anything I can do to help=
=20
fixing this, I'm glad to help.

cu,

=2D-=20
