ACPI 3.01 and 3.0 trap on IBM Xseries 345

[Roderick]

With ACPI 3.0 and 3.01 the server traps.

As requested a ticket on this bug.

ACPI never realy worked on this machine, HOWEVER, turned out a BIOS upgrade was required! Its an IBM Xseries 345 with 2 Xeon CPU's ​http://en.ecomstation.ru/hardware.php?action=item&id=1194

ACPI 2.22 worked mostly however 3.0 and 3.01 trap the server.

This is the update that was required: ​http://www-304.ibm.com/jct01004c/systems/support/supportsite.wss/docdisp lay?brandind=5000008&lndocid=MIGR-43902 (Maybe its usefull since the diskette images contains the BIOS images etc).

Loading the _W4 kernel and ACPI 3.01 without any switches in the config.sys results in:

Exception in module ACPI

The system detected an internal processing error at location

I can NOT make a memory dump. CTRL ALT F10 does not respond, server hangs solid. This trap occurs instantly when the machine starts up and loads the PSD.

I will open another ticket for the problem with the trace tool.

Try 3.03 and reopen ticket if problem is here. If reopen add acpi.log from any boot. Mean as you can boot with acpi - Uni, SMP e.t.c.

3.3 has increase count of supports IO APIC
