Bug Description

When fwts checksum test finds an incorrect checksum it reports what the correct checksum value should be. Unfortunately this has been computed incorrectly for the generic ACPI header case and for the RSDP extended checksum cases too.

Diff between V0.23.23 and V0.23.25 Edit (12.8 KiB, text/plain)

A newer version 0.23.25 of fwts is available which fixes this bug and a few other minor fixes the Oneiric release.

Version V0.23.25 can be found in my PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~colin-king/+archive/test/+packages

Can this be uploaded this to Oneiric universe? I anticipate this is the last minor bugfix upload for fwts for this cycle.

This has been soaked tested against hundreds of firmware and kernel log snapshots to check for any regressions and against a test suite to check for regressions in fwts.

This new version includes the following major bug fixes since V0.23.23:

    acpi: checksum: output correct checksum value (LP: #869018)
    acpi: method: relax _BIF, _BIX tests.
    acpi: method: Check _BST charging + discharging more thoroughly (LP: #862153)
    acpi: acpitables: fix spurious advice infomation (LP: #862170)
    pci: maxreadreq: add more helpful advice (LP: #859651)

Attached: diff between V0.23.23 and V0.23.25.
