I noticed with the "polled" tunable set, it appears to go away. Is this right or are there errors later in the dmesg? > I tried the 4 test runs which you mentioned , when I boot with both > debug.acpi (burst and polled = 1) I got a kernel panic but i couldn't > save the backtrace, but it was about _sx_xlock_hard in recursed on > non-recursive function, line 209 on acpi_ec.c If you could try this again and get the full panic message, that would help a lot. I need both places the sx was locked, not just one. It usually will report something like "attempt to acquire sx at XXX, previously acquired at YYY". I need both values to figure out what lock order is happening on your system. > I'm send links for 3 verbose boot's (i couldnt for burst and polled > because the panic) if you want to take a look.. > http://www.inf.ufpr.br/wg06/dmesg-acpi-ec.gz > <http://www.inf.ufpr.br/wg06/dmesg-acpi-ec.gz> > http://www.inf.ufpr.br/wg06/dmesg-acpi-ec-burst.gz > http://www.inf.ufpr.br/wg06/dmesg-acpi-ec-polled.gz > <http://www.inf.ufpr.br/wg06/dmesg-acpi-ec-polled.gz> One thing I noted in your dmesg for the polled case was the "acpi_ec0: warning: EC done before starting event wait" message. That tells me your system probably needs some extra checking to figure out when the status is actually ready, but that's a complicated case I'm not sure how to solve yet. But did any other errors show up in that case? Did thermal/battery status get reported correctly? One thing you could do to help me is to build the kernel and acpi module with: options KTR options KTR_COMPILE=KTR_DEV options KTR_ENTRIES=65536 Then, boot to multi-user for each of the 4 cases I mentioned above (don't bother for the panic case) and run: ktrdump -rt | sort -n | gzip -9c > foo.ktr I'll then be able to see more detail about how the EC is behaving on your system.
