[ACPI] RE: Please Remove ASUS A7V from blacklist in dmi-scan.c

[Brown, L. <len...@in...>]

Thanks for testing the A7V Eric,

Can you describe further "halted your machine without any form of sync"?
halt and sync should still work with acpi=3Dht, but the soft power off
will not work
Unless an non-acpi mechanism is enabled.  Was it that the change
In poweroff behaviour tricked you and you pulled power manually?

In any case, sounds like your box shouldn't be blacklisted by default.

Please send the output from dmidecide, available in /usr/sbin/, or here:

http://www.nongnu.org/dmidecode/ and I'll take care of it.

Thanks,
-Len
