13.2RC1 -- couple rather small issues

I just did a “zypper dup” on my laptop and got a new kernel. Upon reboot, I saw a red line flash by “Kernel module not loaded”, actually, it was the reboot after I had rebuilt Packman’s broadcom WL src to get the wireless working.

So, I go searching DMESG for both kernel and failure; here’s what I found:

[acpi PNP0A08:00: _OSC failed (AE_ERROR); disabling ASPM/CODE]

Wikipedia:  Active State Power Management (ASPM) is a power management protocol used to manage PCI Express-based (PCIe) serial link devices as links become less active over time. It is normally used on laptops and other mobile Internet devices to extend battery life.

I'll look into the DSDT one of these days -- if I can find my old notes on how to do it.

2.   I think both of the following have to do with the Broadcom wl rpm that I rebuilt:


bluetooth hci0: Direct firmware load failed with error -2
bluetooth hci0: Falling back to user helper


I don't use bluetooth, and it may be fixed when the rpm is provided...


wl: module license ‘unspecified’ taints kernel.
Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint


probably will be fixed when rpm is provided.

Other than that, everything seems to be working well;  can't wait for GM!

I’m not certain, but I think you will still still get the “tainted” message with the wl drivers installed from a packman repo. That’s just the nature of installing kernel modules that did not come with the installed kernel. It usually isn’t a serious problem.

I can’t believe it, it’s still up on the forum, “How to Fix Your Buggy DSDT”.

Save me from searching a pile of old notes:)
Now to find out if it will work uefi + secure boot…

Also did a zypper dup on my desktop this morning; here’s the relevant DMESG info:

No errors!  No failures!  Yippie!

WARNING! power/level is deprecated; use power/control instead

ACPI Warning: SystemIO range 0x0000000000002e00-0x0000000000002e3f conflicts with OpRegion 0x0000000000002e00-0x0000000000002e3f (\_SB_.PCI0.SM00) (20140424/utaddress-258)
    3.710824] ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should use it instead of the native driver
 

And, that’s all I can find wrong ATM.

I’m getting more and more impressed with 13.2RC1!
