Hello All, First some system info I've been playing around with the ACPI support (with patch) in the 2.4.19 kernel (latest ACPI patch, rh 7.3 system, vanilla kernel) on one on my desktop system which is an award bios with a Athlon 1.4 processor Kernel is built with all ACPI options except battery, AC and CPU only but I'm only seeing processor and button directory trees in my /proc/acpi I was kind of hoping to see a thermal directory but it isn't there. I tried playing around to see what I could do to see if it was a buggy bios but I ran out of documentation to follow after getting the acpidmp but the decoders I tried either returned no info or seg faulted. Any suggestions on what I can do to get useful information out of the acpidmp or other ACPI info or a website with more up to date troubleshooting information? Second question, on this kernel I tried switching the speed down to 50% using the throttling but the machine acted very jumpy after that. Is that a known issue due to changing the timing of the CPU while the kernel is already running? Remember, this should still be 700Mhz which should be just fine for running a few x apps I assume. Thanks in advance, Dareus |
