Oh, ok. The MC146818 doesn't even have a register E, and we check register D for RTCSD_PWR on a read anyway, so 0x0e is just RAM, and finding any bits set there makes atrtc_setup_clock fail - as it did! > As Daniel correctly said, this has nothing to do with acpi attach failing and > the system would be useless without it. > > Perhaps, the above message is even a result of acpi failure, but that's > irrelevant. I doubt the former, but the latter is true :) I was reading isa/atrtc.c to a) try working out how to do the wakeup-on-timer thing and b) tracing ct_to_ts and ts_to_ct messages re another problem - both other topics. sorry, Ian _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-acpi To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
