Yinghai, Sorry. I am not sure what you are referring to here. I have mentioned about FADT in another thread, so not sure what you mean by this here.

Once we understand what the problem is with IBM platform, then we can propose a solution (using FADT perhaps) that is acceptable to everyone. thanks, suresh -- 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/
