ACPI experience

[Matthew Dillon]

:Hey there,
:
:Just a minor heads up, I had a box (Aug 4 kernel) just lock up on 
:me and wouldn't boot back up.  After Matt fixed the acpi timeout() 
:deadlock bug back around August 2nd-ish, it ran for about 2 weeks 
:but now for some reason it freezes in the same place, right before 
:going into multi-user.
:
:I was able to break into DDB but the only thing on the stack was 
:the keyboard interrupt handler with lwkt_exit() at the very top. 
:I'm guessing that's another deadlock?  So, for now I'm running just 
:fine without acpi.ko so I can save myself more trips down to the 
:colo.  :-)
:
:Anyway, I just thought I'd share to perhaps prevent some unwanted 
:grief for some of you.

:-Paul.

    See if it's the 'getty on ttyd0' problem.  Check your /etc/ttys
    and make sure you aren't running anything on a serial port.
