As far is I know, it's because of some errors in the DSDT of the Compaq Evo N160. I also have this notebook and have fixed at least the obvious errors (and wrong information about the battery). --> You should take a fixed DSDT and include in into your kernel. Steps: - Get a fixed DSDT. You could try mine from http://www.ettelbrueck.de/linux-acpi/compaq-evo-n160/acpi_dsdt.asl , but you should alter it to fit to your battery. I've coded the current maximum capacity of my battery (3357 mAh instead of 4000 mAh for a new battery) into it - see my posting of 14 december 2002 for details about the battery part. - Compile your DSDT with Intel's ASL compiler into a c source code file and copy it to kernel-src-dir/drivers/acpi/tables/acpi_dsdt.c. - [Don't know by heart if this is needed with current acpi patches] Apply a patch to your kernel that makes it use your DSDT. - Compile your kernel once again. - Boot it... I'm sorry that I couldn't write it in more detail, but I my Evo N160 is not running at the moment and I'm busy... I hope you'll find out how to use the information I could give you by now. Some links that could help you, especially for finding Intel's ASL compiler and patching your kernel: http://www.cpqlinux.com/acpi-howto.html http://dude.noc.clara.net/~faye/compaq2701ea/ Kind regards Heiko |
