Re: [ACPI] [PATCH 1/2] IPMI and acpi=off|ht :acpi-get-firmware-failure.patch

[Sergio Monteiro Basto]

Hi,
I am CCing to Robert Moore because is about acpi/tables/tbxfroot.c. This
is code from ACPICA
http://developer.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads.htm
So we have to wait for the next version of ACPICA, on dmesg we can find
it, for example:  

ACPI: Subsystem revision 20050211

thanks,
