Yinghai, Sorry. I am not sure what you are referring to here. I have
mentioned about FADT in another thread, so not sure what you mean by
this here.

Are you referring that bios for the IBM system can use this to fix their
problem? Once we understand what the problem is with IBM platform, then
we can propose a solution (using FADT perhaps) that is acceptable to
everyone.

thanks,
suresh
