No handler for Region

Hello all,

I have a toshiba tecra s1. During the bootup I get some errors and the battery status is not working. The messages looks similar as described in

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=6752695

I run a 2.6.2-rc2 kernel with the acpi-20040116.diff.bz2 patch and the acpi initrd patch for setting my own dsdt. Since the update to 2.6.2-rc2 the errors for the dockingstation are gone. However there are still some "No handler for Region" errors during boot up as seen below:

<4>evregion-0251 [21] ev_address_space_dispa: No handler for Region [ECF2] (dfef1ea8) [EmbeddedControl]
<4> exfldio-0284 [20] ex_access_region : Region EmbeddedControl(3) has no
handler
<4> dswexec-0435 [13] ds_exec_end_op : [Store]: Could not resolve
operands, AE_NOT_EXIST
<4> psparse-1120: *** Error: Method execution failed [\_SB_.BAT0._STA] (Node dfef9ba8), AE_NOT_EXIST
<4>evregion-0251 [21] ev_address_space_dispa: No handler for Region [ECF2] (dfef1ea8) [EmbeddedControl]
<4> exfldio-0284 [20] ex_access_region : Region EmbeddedControl(3) has no
handler
<4> dswexec-0435 [13] ds_exec_end_op : [Store]: Could not resolve
operands, AE_NOT_EXIST
<4> psparse-1120: *** Error: Method execution failed [\_SB_.BAT1._STA] (Node dfef9428), AE_NOT_EXIST

The problem lies in the Store command of the _STA Methods of the batteries. If the store command is replacecd by

Store (0x01, Local0)

the functions work without errors messages.

I have put the file files.tar.gz containing:
dsdt.dsl.org (the dsdt I use)
dmesg.txt
dmidecode.txt
acpidmp.txt
interrupts.txt
lscpi.txt

which can be found at http://zagge.online.de/files.tar.gz .

If you need more information or if I should test something I'm more than willing to do so. Thanks for your help and your good job.

Thorsten

Hi Thorsten,

I had similar issues with a Gaateway 200X. The problem is that the machine
does not supply an ECDT. I was able to fix the problem by using the patch associated with bug 1690.

the bug - http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1690
the patch - http://bugme.osdl.org/attachment.cgi?id=1690&action=view

It seems to have worked for a number of different systems with this issue,
so perhaps it will help you, too.

Greg

Thanks for pointing out. It help indeed. No all error messages during the boot are gone.
