Get ACPI working

634 points posted to Desktops and Laptops by drizzt321 02/19/07

I have found in my e1505 which has an ExpressCard slot, that the BIOS does not have the proper ACPI support for PCI-Express hot swap. Currently to the best of my knowledge none of the ExpressCard systems have a properly working BIOS that correctly supports the PCI-E SIG specifications for ACPI hot swap.

There are other well known ACPI bugs, and functions that are not implemented. Dell, please improve your ACPI coding in the BIOS. Or just go LinuxBIOS and not worry about any of that at all.
