Bug Description

At first the acpi was ok, but since some time it seems to be completly unable to detect the lid state (/proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state remains blocked on "open"), and the power button seems to be undetected...

I'm not quite sure what after what it as became broken, maybe after configuring laptop-mode or something like this

Well it seems to me that this bug was brought by kernel 2.6.17-8.

As a matter of fact I noticed another problem wich seems to be connected to that bug :

the ethernet connection of my laptop is not working with kernel 2.6.17-8 or above with acpi enable : during the up sequence I got a kernel message saying "disabling IRQ #xxx" where xxx is the irq of my network card.

When booting on kernel 2.6.17-7 everything there works fines, eth0 s brought up flawlessly, lid is correctly detected.

Another way to work it around is to boot with noacpi and irqpoll, but then the lid is obviuosly not working, but the network is.

well, after removing package powernowd, it seems that the LID state is blocked on closed now. I'll continue trying to figure out what makes that damn state not ok (it works great under MS Windows, so it is definitely a software problem)

The 18 month support period for Edgy Eft 6.10 has reached it's end of life. As a result, we are closing the linux-source-2.6.17 Edgy Eft kernel task.

Hardy Heron 8.04 was recently released. It would be helpful if you could test the new release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download . You should be able to test your bug using the LiveCD. Please let us know your results. Thanks.

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

Unfortunately this bug report is being closed because we received no response to the last inquiry for information. However, the Intrepid Ibex 8.10 Beta release was most recently announced - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/beta . If you are able to confirm this is still an issue with this most recent release please feel free to reopen this report. To reopen the bug report you can click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to "New". Thanks.
