Re: ACPI breakage in 2.6.2-rc3 (and before)

[Len Brown]

Joseph,
Please try this patch
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=1965&action=view

from this bug report:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1766

It should be in the next mm patch, and if it causes no regression will
be pushed to 2.6.2.

thanks,
-Len
