Hi list, Hi Ariff,
Over the last few days I've been having some strange issues with my laptop -
pretty bad crashes when suspending (which hardly ever used to happen), moused
saying that psm0 doesnt exist (psm0 being the touchpad / nipple in this
Thinkpad z60m).
I've unfortunately traced it back to snd_hda.ko and sound.ko binary
blobs :( (well, at least that - those are the only ones I load ). I dont know
exactly what the issue is :(
Kernel was built with latest sources (at the time) for the test:
$ uname -a
FreeBSD ayiin.octantis.com.au 6.2-STABLE FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #5: Wed Jun 6 14:22:37 EST 2007 root@ayiin.octantis.com.au:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/AYIIN i386
Symptoms:
1) Setting
dev.acpi_ibm.0.events=1
will fail with (from dmesg -a )
----
dev.acpi_ibm.0.events:
0
sysctl:
dev.acpi_ibm.0.events
:
Input/output error
---
Therefore none of the acpi events are passed onto devd (this is how I came about the problem)
2) psm0 is not detected. It normally is :
psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
psm0: model Generic PS/2 mouse, device ID 0
when the binary blobs are loaded, all those lines are completelly missing from dmesg. /dev/psm0 is not created. I could only get it to work if I forced the irq to "1" (the irq of the keyboard) in device.hints.
doing a diff between dmesg -a of both kernels (with original snd modules and with the special ones) shows

This happens both with the low latency files ( sndkld_releng6_i386_lowlatency_20070426.tar.gz , which I was using in my previous tests earlier in the week) and with sndkld_releng6_i386_giant_eradication_20070604.tar.gz ( dates added by me in both cases).
Ariff, please let me know if there is any more information you'd need, or tests youd' want me to do.
As usual, thanks for your time and knowledge :)
