acpi events aren't recognized at startup

Hi forum!

Since 3 weeks my acpi events aren't recognized anymore after startup, no apci_listen and no event-handler-output. I've got to manually type "systemctl restart acpid" to get them working again. What could be the problem? Journallog: http://pastebin.com/5f03T2wh

Regards,

acpi was updated to v 1.7 on 2014-01-02, check /var/log/pacman.log to verify if your problems may have to do with this update.

Re: acpi events aren't recognized at startup

We might have the same issue, though restarting acpid doesn't change anything for me. I've tried different kernels and tried to find out if any package was updated when it started happening, but couldn't find anything. I've opened a bug report for the kernel here:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71221

That bug has the following effects on my computer:
- Backlight keys not working
- Wireless key not working
- Doesn't detect the change when plugging out the battery cord, KDE/upower can't see that the computer is on battery
- CPU frequency isn't lowered automatically anymore when my PC gets too hot, and it just shuts down due to overheating
