kernel-2.6.31.6-1 on Toshiba satelite

For owners of Toshiba satelite: kernel-2.6.31.6-1 does not work on Toshiba satelite A105 S2141. Bad things begin right at booting time after frase Loading ACPI modules.

Perhaps some logs and a bit of diagnosing of the problem would be good....

Also, 2.6.31.6-1 has been in core for over 6 weeks now, and would have been in testing for a while before that, so your warning is probably too late for most users.

Thanks for the heads-up m.bork, got a friend that has one of these and wasn't sure it it would do the job or not.

Re: kernel-2.6.31.6-1 on Toshiba satelite

I have the same problem with my Toshiba Satellite L505D with the latest install release. I get 'a lot' of acpi errors. The only way to get a successful boot is acpi=off or acpi=ht, so luckily it can see both cores. I thought it was because of a buggy DSDT table, but I can't actually boot the computer and copy the DSDT table to recompile it and try to fix the issues; it only loads the DSDT table if acpi is enabled, and I can't boot if acpi is enabled.

I'm basically stuck using Windows 7, which has actually been a really nice OS, since I can't have any sort of power management in Arch. Not being able to have power management means not being able to use Arch, what good is a laptop if the battery wont last.

Could you change the topic title so that it reflects this please?
