What is ACPI?

Section 1: ACPI works for your computer

If ACPI driver works on your computer ..
then share the success story with other users of eComStation:

fill the form for ACPI DB
post a report to Hardware Database

Section 2: You can't boot to desktop

Usually you can boot ACPI.PSD without parameters. And you have problems if boot in /SMP /PIC mode or /SMP /APIC mode.

Learn the experience of other users

Hardware tested with eComStation: motherboards, moreover: notebooks, servers, netbooks
Check ACPI DB - it contains filtered information

Configure BIOS Setup

Don't forget select in BIOS Setup: USB Legacy = disable
enable ACPI support, enable APIC mode

Different versions of ACPI driver First of all, try different version of ACPI driver:

ACPI 3.14 -- recommended for notebooks -- BETAZONE
ACPI 3.18 for eCS 2.0 GA -- good for motherboards manufactured after 2008 -- it is included to eCS 2.0 GA
ACPI v.today -- available by eComStation subscription

How to switch between different version of ACPI? Use ACPI Fast Upgrade .wpi package - it replaces binary files.

Simplify the configuration of PC Main goal of this stage - find the cause of headache and problems.

Disable USB controllers
Disable audio, network, etc
read ACPI documentation

Start the experiments from the beginning. If eCS PC works then enable one device and its drivers, try boot again.

Read the documentation again ACPI homepage

Section 3: You can boot eComStation PC to desktop but have problems

? Do you have troubles with

troubles with USB
distorted sound
slow network ? hangs because of network activity?
slow harddisk?

Step 1: Update device drivers

Uniaud - http://svn.netlabs.org/uniaud - yes, uniaud is usable now (2010/12)
Genmac Wrapper - use official latest version

Do you use experimental drivers? beta versions of software? Recall full list of changes and buggy applications.

Step 2: Check IRQ
Resolve the conflicts related to IRQ
Note: The problems may occur if you are booting in PIC mode (1 CPU or N CPUs in SMP PIC mode). If use SMP APIC mode then IRQ problems are resolved automatically.
run in command line:
rmview.exe /irq > rmview.log
Example of rmview.log:

IRQ Level = 0 PCI Pin = NONE Flg = EXCLUSIVE TIMER_CH_0 IRQ Level = 1 PCI Pin = NONE Flg = EXCLUSIVE KBD_0 Keyboard Controller IRQ Level = 2 PCI Pin = NONE Flg = EXCLUSIVE PIC_1 IRQ Level = 4 PCI Pin = NONE Flg = MULTIPLEXED SERIAL_0 Serial Controller IRQ Level = 5 PCI Pin = B Flg = SHARED Intel 82801DB-ICH4 with Analog Devices AD1981B IRQ Level = 8 PCI Pin = NONE Flg = EXCLUSIVE RTC ! IRQ Level = 9 PCI Pin = B Flg = SHARED UHCI Compliant USB Host Controller ! IRQ Level = 9 PCI Pin = A Flg = SHARED Intel 2200 Wlan ! IRQ Level = 9 PCI Pin = C Flg = SHARED UHCI Compliant USB Host Controller ! IRQ Level = 9 PCI Pin = NONE Flg = SHARED ACPI Interface IRQ Level = 10 PCI Pin = D Flg = SHARED EHCI Compliant USB Host Controller ! IRQ Level = 11 PCI Pin = A Flg = SHARED Intel 10/100/1000 ! IRQ Level = 11 PCI Pin = A Flg = SHARED UHCI Compliant USB Host Controller IRQ Level = 12 PCI Pin = NONE Flg = SHARED AUX_0 PS/2 Auxiliary Device Controller IRQ Level = 14 PCI Pin = NONE Flg = EXCLUSIVE IDE_0 xATA Controller IRQ Level = 15 PCI Pin = NONE Flg = EXCLUSIVE IDE_1 xATA Controller IRQ Level = 44 PCI Pin = NONE Flg = EXCLUSIVE ACPI Interface IRQ Level = 45 PCI Pin = NONE Flg = EXCLUSIVE ACPI Interface IRQ Level = 46 PCI Pin = NONE Flg = EXCLUSIVE ACPI Interface IRQ Level = 47 PCI Pin = NONE Flg = EXCLUSIVE ACPI Interface

Check that:

ACPI Interface is alone on IRQ9 (IRQ Level = 9)
Uniaud is alone (no USB controllers on the same IRQ)
Network adapter is alone (no USB controllers on the same IRQ)
All Thinkpad notebooks have common problem if booting in PIC mode: all devices are using IRQ11 (this happens if you activate ACPI, i.e. boot ACPI.PSD; if don't enable ACPI then problem doesn't occur because old BIOS configures IRQs by itself). As result, sound doesn't work, network doesn't work, USB doesn't work.

Step 3: Resolve IRQ conflicts

Method 1: setup IRQs via BIOS setup
Method 2: use LINK command integrated to ACPI.PSD
Method 3: disable the devices (disable unnecessary IDE controller, use onboard audio instead of external, etc)

Method 2: Lars Erdmann demonstrates how to use LINK option:
it's because the IRQ links are not properly set or set to a "forbidden" IRQ (like IRQ13 which is reserved for the Co-Processor). I think this affects only onboard devices. I had the same problem. What you need to do:
boot eComStation, capture the log of ACPI: copy acpica$ acpica.log (or find it in logs directory if the logging is activated)
in acpica.log look for a section like this:
8:5:44.0 IRQLinks found: 8:5:44.0 0: 'LNKB' (F9005488) P[*3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15] <- 0:10.0 0:2.3 8:5:44.0 A[] 8:5:44.0 1: 'LNKC' (F90056E0) P[ 3, 4,*5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15] <- 0:7.0 0:2.7 ...

If one of the sections does not have a "*" in the P[] section, this is the IRQ link that is not properly set up. You will have to assign an IRQ manually like this (in config.sys):
PSD=ACPI.PSD /LNK:LNKE:5 (example: set LNKE to IRQ 5, in your case I guess you could also set it to IRQs > 15 but I don't know).
Then you will get something like this (see the LNKE entry):
... 8:5:44.0 Set: 5 4: 'LNKE' (F9005B90) P[ 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15] <- 0:3.0 8:5:44.0 A[] 8:5:44.0 5: 'LNKF' (F9005DE8) P[ 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11,*12, 14, 15] <- 0:3.1 8:5:44.0 A[] 8:5:44.0 6: 'LNKG' (F9006040) P[ 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10,*11, 12, 14, 15] <- 0:3.2 8:5:44.0 A[] 8:5:44.0 7: 'LNKH' (F9006298) P[] 8:5:44.0 A[]

and all of a sudden you can use all USB ports (or whatever other device did not work).

Section 4: Utilities and applications to manage ACPI

You can install ACPI Setup to configure ACPI APM.

Section 5: Contact support service

If you have troubles with ACPI configuration then contact the support service.

Commenti:

System requirements of eComStation are low. It works on netbooks and old Pentium. (Of course, it works on modern 2- / 4- or 8-core computers). eCS 2.0 what's new?
