I think chances are actually quite good we'll be able to proceed with pushing the ACPI table re-write immediately upon 2.6.21 open. Note that while it is sort of big text-wise, it isn't that complicated -- and failures in this type of code tend to be massively obvious boot failures. Note also that 2.6.20-rc6-mm3 is not the maiden voyage to -mm for this code. It has been there several times before as it has matured. The table re-write broke the HP simulator -- but I think we can fix that quickly. I don't know yet what broke the HP rx2600. The sysfs branch is what broke the button and the Altix boot. Sysfs may or may not go upstream at 2.6.21 open -- but that isn't the code you are conflicting with here so that is moot. cheers, -Len > For now, I guess we sit back while Len and Andi sort out what they're going > to do. > > Len, what was in that merge anyway?
