Hi, I recently compiled kernel 2.4.18 with ACPI on a Compaq 714EA and I found the known ECOK bug. Now I want to try to correct that bug as described in other mails. I still have some doubt: - Can some mystake be doungerous for the hardware? - What is it better: no acpi or a buggy implementation? - Is it so difficult as it seems? ... Thank you, Stefano Salvador |

Shortly, yes. But it depend on what kind of bugs you have to scope. > - What is it better: no acpi or a buggy implementation? For a laptop, imho, it is definitively a must. ACPI is also usefull for a server (it is in my todo list for my job, but at this stage I have no prod. servers with the acpi-ca enabled, and think that I have to wait the current acpi-ca implementation become more mature). Also I have noticed that, stangely, we see a lot of bugs for compaq products as laptops, but the aml of compaq servers seems to be more well written. > - Is it so difficult as it seems? ... Hem.
