Bug#362812: Differeneces in behavour from kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686
Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-3-686
Version: 2.6.8-16sa
I found a couple of (unexpected) difference between
kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686 and kernel-image-2.6.8-3-686, not sure if these
constitute bugs but thought they were worth documenting. The machines
in question are IBM ThinkPad T23s, R has BIOS version 1.16, C has BIOS
version 1.10 but are otherwise identical (as far as I can see) both are
running Debian Sarge and behave identically with
kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686. However on upgrading to
kernel-image-2.6.8-3-686 they both have different issues.
R : Hangs on boot with the following lines:
ACPI: SubSystem revision 20040326
ACPI: IRQ9 SCI: Edge set to Level Trigger
booting with acpi=off removes this problem. This does not occur on C.
C: Fails to auto load psmouse and mousedev when booting. When the
modules are manually inserted they work fine. Both machine using -2-
load these modules automatically and R loads then automatically with
-3-.
Not sure if these are bugs as such, perhaps the new kernel is just a bit
more sensitive to BIOS differences but thought I should report them
anyway.
HTH
