Unfortunately, Matthew's HP fails for a different reason than Philip's Gigabyete. (The BIOS asks for it - so we'll have to poke at the chipset to find out the reason it is setting BM_STS) thanks, Len Brown, Intel Open Source Technology Center -- 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/
