Thinkpad T60 ACPI problem on amd64 arch

[Philippe Clérié]

Booting the Kubuntu Dapper Alternate CD for amd64 arch stops with the following lines:

ACPI: Subsystem revision 20051216
ACPI: Found ECDT

Booting with acpi=off works.

Computer specs:
Model: Thinkpad T60/1953ETU
CPU: Core 2 Duo 7200
BIOS: 2.05 (79ETC5WW) dated 2006-11-16

I am assuming the CD boots linux-image-2.6.15-??-amd64-generic. The CD image was downloaded on 8 January.

The kernel used for Debian Etch RC1 is also affected by this bug. I get identical behavior.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Hardy Heron. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the actively developed release. You can find out more about the development release at [WWW] http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/

The issue is still unresolved up to kernel 2.6.24-11.17. And so far even
on other hardware sites nobody has reproduced it. I suggest you close.

The trouble with common sense is that it is so uncommon.

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this linux-source-2.6.15 kernel bug to the new "linux" package. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Also, if you would be interested in testing the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release, it is available at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . Please let us know your results. Thanks!

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 alpha 6?

[Philippe Clérié (pclerie)]

No problem on intrepid alpha 5.

Based on the last comment from Philippe, who is the original bug reporter, I'm marking this "Fix Released" for Intrepid.
