Re: PROBLEM: 2.4.21-rcX hangs when accessing HW clock on Toshiba laptop

Problem is related to a number of toshiba and Intel implementations
running ACPI since rel 20030424.

Temporary solution:

1) Boot with single or ACPI=off

2) Add --directisa to lines containing hwclock in rc.sysinit and halt

3) Reboot normally

Regards
Michael

Powered by linux-2.5.70-mm3
My current linux related activities in rough order of priority:
- Testing of 2.4/2.5 kernel interactivity
- Testing of Swsusp for 2.4
- Testing of Opera 7.11 emphasizing interactivity
- Research of NFS i/o errors during transfer 2.4>2.5
- Learning 2.5 series kernel debugging with kgdb - it's in the -mm tree
- Studying 2.5 series serial and ide drivers, ACPI, S3
* Input and feedback is always welcome *
