[OpenIndiana-discuss] ACPI errors

Sun Jul 1 18:06:03 UTC 2012

Hi,

given the information below, can you confirm that the ACPI code in current OpenIndiana is lagging behind that in the Illumos tree?
If yes, could you please consider adopting the latest fixes to the OI kernel?
Given that the same problem is also present in Solaris 11 (at least with my machine), having these updates would be a significant plus for OI ;-)

Oliver

Sure, here we go:

(~): uname -a
SunOS mymachine 5.11 oi_151a4 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris

(~): pkg publisher
PUBLISHER                             TYPE     STATUS   URI
openindiana.org                       origin   online   http://pkg.openindiana.org/dev/
opensolaris.org          (non-sticky, disabled) origin   online   http://pkg.openindiana.org/legacy/
sfe                                   origin   online   http://pkg.openindiana.org/sfe/
sfe-encumbered                        origin   online   http://pkg.openindiana.org/sfe-encumbered/

Hope this helps,
Oliver

Hi,

could you start system terminal and send output of:

uname -a

and

pkg publisher

to this list?

Best regards,

Milan
