Chuck, I know that you have been successful with using OS2APIC.PSD. I am able to get ACPI 3.0.7 working for both CPU cores, as well as APM.ADD.

What version(s) of ACPI did you test, and aside from the "hang during boot" issue I see with 3.0.8, what were your results? I am seeing random deadlock conditions, but I can't tell whether it's an ACPI issue, uniaud, GenMAC, or something triggered by Flash (using my patched 9.0.115 plugin).

TIA

        

I just tried the latest 3.08 (04/13/2008).  Traps in APM right after SDDHELP.SYS is loaded.  It also displays a bunch of ACPI messages that should not be there.  If I rem out all of the APM lines, it will boot. I also have sound (not very loud) using test1.

      

I am using Panorama on this T61. I believe Panorama is required for APM.
    

I've seen comments that Panorama is required for various functions. But, I have also seen coments about cautions, problems, etc., that I
did not really understand.  So, I am still using the latest SNAP and
having no problems.  OTOH, I don't know if I am missing something
either.  [That's the penalty of being a techo-dummy on eCS.]

  

I have 3.0.8 working, based on Neil's posting about the Intel 945GCNL (I have one of those machines in the next room, which is yet to be delivered to a client), by adding /SAP:0x20 to my PSD line, which now reads:

PSD=ACPI.PSD /SMP /APIC /SAP:0x20
    

Standard Q#1:  What does /SAP do and why should I care?

  

In addition, I have:

BASEDEV=APM.ADD
RUN=C:\OS2\ACPIDaemon.exe
    

Yes...  Me too.

  

I am currently testing with only the defaults in the CFG files.
    

I'm not totally sure what I may have changed other than I've set the
'Close Lid' to do nothing.  So far, it has worked just fine.  [Makes it
easier to carry the TPad up/down the stairs than when it is open.]

  

The extra info you;re getting may be caused by:

LogScreen = 1
    

Hmmm...  I have LogScreen=0
BUT, I when I do a PrtSc, it works just fine.
I've never bothered to change it because of my oft-said
basic view of the world:
  If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

  

  

in %ETC%\ACPID.CFG

For sound, I have the following in my unimix setup params, loaded from startup.cmd (unimix.exe -loadc:\mmos2\unimix.ini):

-id3 -cnt0 -val1
-id3 -cnt1 -val1
-id27 -val33
    

I have nothing that I can find about 'unimix'...

Yes, there is a \mmos2\unimix.exe, but no *.ini anywhere that I see.

  

Should I have something?  ISTR that Paul said his updates, current and
planned, are intended to avoid a user having to deal with this.

  

(N.B.: Those are not the contents of unimix.ini, merely the relevant settings. Set them manually, as parameters passed to unimix.exe, and then use unimix.exe -savec:\mmos2\unimix.ini to dump them.)
    

I attempted to patch Flash to the 9 level, but I am not sure that I did the hex edit correctly.  What is your patched one based on?  Might I get a copy?

      

My patched one is based on the original 7.0 r14. I seemed to get more stuff patched than Steve Wendt did with his, so I kept it (I had a few sites which were looking for the ident string in different places). You may download the patched version (and the preceding one, patched to 9.0 r47) from http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/eCS-Technical/files/ . The zip is 500+ KB, and perhaps best not attached to an email on the list. I'll send both via PM, though.
    

Lewis, I've got no problem with direct E-Mails w/ large files attached.
 I send/receive much larger than that all the time.  Your latest
patched Flash 9.xxx would be appreciated.

or so per week spam/phishing stuff from there as it is.]
