Hi Len & Bjorn,
I've not had time to go back to it but with 2.6.30 I get an oops
when I close the lid on my HP Compaq 6910p laptop. I see you removed some
null pointer checks.. perhaps tha tis why? Here is the oops extracted from
my log file. If you want me to test a patch let me know. I'm about to try
2.6.30.1 but I don't see anything in the ChangeLog that is likely to make
a difference.
I've gone back to 2.6.29.4 where it is fine. I tried unloading the
"button" module first but in that case my laptop locked up without an
oops. No flashing num/caps lock or anything, just froze when I close the
lid. The version of button.c from 2.6.29.4 doesn't compile in the 2.6.30
tree;
drivers/acpi/button.c: In function ʽacpi_button_add_fsʼ:
drivers/acpi/button.c:203: error: ʽstruct proc_dir_entryʼ has no member
named ʽownerʼ
drivers/acpi/button.c:208: error: ʽstruct proc_dir_entryʼ has no member
named ʽownerʼ
drivers/acpi/button.c: In function ʽacpi_button_initʼ:
drivers/acpi/button.c:525: error: ʽstruct proc_dir_entryʼ has no member
named ʽownerʼ
Any ideas?
regards,
Stephen.
