Hi Matthias,

Hi, there are a lot of error messages, yes. Do you have the ECDTpatch in yourkernel? Did you update your BIOS? And if yes, how can I update theBIOS
without a floppy drive or Windoze?

I have a patched ECDT table compiled in the kernel. I haven't updatedthe BIOS - I also have neither a floppy nor Windows installed.

Now to the error messages:

These are due to an ACPI bug. The following workaround posted onACPI-Devel fixed it for me:

Comment out the
"if (ec_ecdt && ec_ecdt->uid == uid) {...}" block

in acpi_ec_add() of $KERNEL-SRC/drivers/acpi/ec.c and recompile thekernel.


hth,
Stefan
