next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I installed RELENG_7 (SNAPSHOT-200805) on an old DELL PowerEdge
1300/500, and everything went well.
After I built and installed a recent RELENG_7, suddenly the machine will
panic with "ACPI disabled by blacklist."
I found a recent commit to fix a bug that was actually disabling the
blacklist check on RELENG_7 before Sep.22, and that accounts for the
difference I got between the May snapshot and the current RELENG_7.
The acpi_quirks file lists my hardware as:
# Dell PE1300
name: Dell_PE1300
oem: FADT "Dell " "PE1300 "
oem_rev: FADT <= 1
quirks: ACPI_Q_BROKEN
# Dell Personal Workstation 1300
name: Dell_PE1300_2
oem: FADT "DELL " "PE1300 "
oem_rev: FADT <= 1
quirks: ACPI_Q_BROKEN
In particular, my system matches the second case (uppercase DELL), but
the comment describes it as a totally different machine which cannot be
found on Google
Given that I previously used the machine with ACPI enabled without any
apparent problems, is there any reference as to why it was put on the
black-list?
And how can I make my system ignore that quirk?
Thanks,
Angelo.
