Greetings.

I have been running nicely on my presario 2800t for a while, but with kernel 2.4.18 and a pretty old acpi version.

So, what better to do on a lazy sunday than try and upgrade to 2.4.21-pre4 and the newest acpi? :)

I pulled down the 2.4.21-pre4 kernel. Applied the acpi-20030125-2.4.21-pre3.diff.gz diff to it.
Then applied the patch-acpi-acpi20030125-swsusp18.gz software suspend+acpi patch to that.

First I tried just compiling that and seeing how acpi would work. It came up, but of course with no battery/ac, etc due to the broken compaq dsdt.

So, I pulled down acpidump and iasl-linux-20030123.tar.gz dumped out the dsdt and tried to compile it.

56 errors.

I first fixed all the "String must be entirely alphanumeric" errors (compaq seems to like putting * in all their names.)
I realize it's against the spec, but could something be added to change * to nothing if it finds it in a Name?

Fixing those got me down to 21 errors.
(Worth noting that at this point with the old iasl I was using with 2.4.18 there were no further errors here).

Any ideas on any of these:

My dsdt.asl is located at:
http://www.scrye.com/~kevin/acpi-2003-02-09/dsdt.asl

Most of those look like thermal handling issues. Commenting those problems out or telling iasl to ignore them for now, I stick my custon dsdt.hex file into the 2.4.21-pre4 kernel and boot and I get:

tbget-0273: *** Info: Table [DSDT] replaced by host OS
tbrsdt-0208: *** Error: Invalid signature where RSDP indicates RSDT/XSDT should be located RSDT/XSDT signature at 2FFF0C84 (2fff0c84) is invalid
tbxface-0085: *** Error: acpi_load_tables: Could not load RSDT: AE_BAD_SIGNATURE
tbxface-0115: *** Error: acpi_load_tables: Could not load tables: AE_BAD_SIGNATURE Unable to load the System Description Tables

Anyone have any ideas on the problem there?

Back to 2.4.18 for now I guess.
Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

Alas, your DSDT do not contains some of the objects not found. This is likely because you have SDST tables which contains them. You need to force the compilation.

2.4.21-pre4 + ACPI + Suspend .... Vaio FX401

Firstly, a big thank-you to all who are developing / testing ACPI, it's made life bearable on my laptop :)

A quick question though ... is S3 "snooze" available on the 2.4 series yet, or do I have to start playing with a 2.5 kernel for that?

Again thanks for all your work ...

S3 will be unlikely never ported to 2.4.

Thanks Bruno! Those changes worked beautifully. After ignoring the "Object does not exist" errors generated by the compile, the produced dsdt.hex works great.

Kevin: i've placed my modified dsdt.asl on my website:
http://www.wpi.edu/~flicken/linux/laptop/dsdt.asl It includes the
changes Bruno describes, as well as changes the names to more sensible things (ie. FAN0 instead of C1D4).

Thanks!

With that change and with the pointer from Faye Pearson <[email protected]> to add the right disgnature to my overriding dsdt, acpi works here with 2.4.21-pre4.

One remaining gotcha is that swsusp doesn't seem to work. When I 'echo 4 > /proc/acpi/sleep' the machine just locks. No status or anything.

I will go back and make sure I applied the swsup-acpi patch...
