2.6.28-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Mathieu Chouquet-Stringer commit b36a50f92d1c4300a88f606b4d2bbdc4f442a2d7 upstream. Looking at the source, there seems to be a missing * to match my DMI string. I mean for newer IBM and Lenovo's laptops you match either one of the following: MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:bvnIBM:*:svnIBM:*:pvrThinkPad*:rvnIBM:*"); MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:bvnLENOVO:*:svnLENOVO:*:pvrThinkPad*:rvnLENOVO:*"); While for older Thinkpads, you do this (for instance): IBM_BIOS_MODULE_ALIAS("1[0,3,6,8,A-G,I,K,M-P,S,T]"); with IBM_BIOS_MODULE_ALIAS being MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:bvnIBM:bvr" __type "ET??WW") Note there's no * terminating the string. As result, udev doesn't load anything because modprobe cannot find anything matching this (my machine actually): udevtest: run: '/sbin/modprobe dmi:bvnIBM:bvr1IET71WW(2.10):bd06/16/2006:svnIBM:pn236621U:pvrNotAv Signed-off-by: Mathieu Chouquet-Stringer Acked-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh Signed-off-by: Len Brown Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- drivers/misc/thinkpad_acpi.c | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) --- a/drivers/misc/thinkpad_acpi.c +++ b/drivers/misc/thinkpad_acpi.c @@ -6927,7 +6927,7 @@ MODULE_ALIAS(TPACPI_DRVR_SHORTNAME); * if it is not there yet. */ #define IBM_BIOS_MODULE_ALIAS(__type) \ - MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:bvnIBM:bvr" __type "ET??WW") + MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:bvnIBM:bvr" __type "ET??WW*") /* Non-ancient thinkpads */ MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:bvnIBM:*:svnIBM:*:pvrThinkPad*:rvnIBM:*"); @@ -6936,9 +6936,9 @@ MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:bvnLENOVO:*:svnLENOVO: /* Ancient thinkpad BIOSes have to be identified by * BIOS type or model number, and there are far less * BIOS types than model numbers... */ -IBM_BIOS_MODULE_ALIAS("I[B,D,H,I,M,N,O,T,W,V,Y,Z]"); -IBM_BIOS_MODULE_ALIAS("1[0,3,6,8,A-G,I,K,M-P,S,T]"); -IBM_BIOS_MODULE_ALIAS("K[U,X-Z]"); +IBM_BIOS_MODULE_ALIAS("I[BDHIMNOTWVYZ]"); +IBM_BIOS_MODULE_ALIAS("1[0368A-GIKM-PST]"); +IBM_BIOS_MODULE_ALIAS("K[UX-Z]"); MODULE_AUTHOR("Borislav Deianov, Henrique de Moraes Holschuh"); MODULE_DESCRIPTION(TPACPI_DESC); -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
