ACPI 319 - RC4

[eirik]

To enable more persons (and hence more computers) to test later versions, provide some guidelines on how to conduct updates. In my case I wanted to test ACPI 319. I copied the new ACPI/APM/AcpiDaemon files (after unlocking locked files) into the appropriate folders on my PC (a Lenovo Thinkpad T410).

Boot time was considerably lower than under ver. 3.18, and shutdown worked and other installed software worked. However, several IRQs did not work, including the network connection.

A readme.file in the relase candidates would increase the number of testers, and hence also speed up progress.

can you do 'copy acpica$ acpi.log' and attach log here?

Below find one run of the ACPI 3.19 (where some IRQ were not working - most important no net access) and ACPI 3.18 (where net and other essentials work, but where suspend/resume does not work). All lines from ACPIDAEMON except where otherwise indicated.
