RE: [ACPI] ACPI doesn't work on my Preasrio

[Kent H. <ken...@ya...>]

This is great. By patching my dsdt I have been able to

make ACPI work with Paul's help. I think the two
notable problems now are
1. Reading /proc/acpi/battery/CMB0/info causing
console locking and/or oops.
2. echo "1"> /proc/sleep locking the laptop.
