Hi, I found that on my netbook (acer aspire one 110), kernel boot time (kernel 2.6.29) is severely affected by the EC boot procedure, since it is first fooled by a spurious interrupt in thinking that interrupts work, and then gets a timeout waiting for an interrupt that never arrives: [ 0.351161] calling acpi_init+0x0/0x236 @ 1 [ 0.361052] ACPI: EC: Look up EC in DSDT [ 0.367754] ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored [ 0.368984] ACPI: EC: non-query interrupt received, switching to interrupt mode [ 0.860013] ACPI: EC: missing confirmations, switch off interrupt mode. [ 0.866062] ACPI: Interpreter enabled
There is a bug report for this issue http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12001 , marked as fixed on an old kernel, but I'm still getting it with 2.6.29 (maybe my controller is flaky?), so I'm looking for a workaround: is there a way to force the ACPI using polling?
