Please send in a report so we can look into it. jhb@ pulled in : some local changes today which were missing from my import and which might : address things. Please cvsup and let us know if it fixes things. Yea. Too many 'freeing free blocks' panics... : As to your other point ("we must have another snapshot"), be careful what : you wish for. GPE handling was completely rewritten for 0328 and gives : major problems for people. 0424 fixed some of the problems, but like with : any rewrite, there are still many that remain. It's not clear that 052x : will fix them either but by working with acpi-jp@, we can each do our part : to at least make this a possibility. We'd all really appreciate your : help. Yup. I read the list, but have been burried until recently. Having my laptop being somewhat busted somewhat motivates me to help.. Warner
