: First of all, please coordinate any future efforts with jhb@, marcel@,
: acpi-jp@, and myself as we were involved in making the 0228 import happen.  
: Second, I haven't seen a report about any problems from you on current@ or
: acpi-jp@.  Please send in a report so we can look into it.  jhb@ pulled in
: some local changes today which were missing from my import and which might
: address things.  Please cvsup and let us know if it fixes things.

Yea.  Too many 'freeing free blocks' panics...

: As to your other point ("we must have another snapshot"), be careful what
: you wish for.  GPE handling was completely rewritten for 0328 and gives
: major problems for people.  0424 fixed some of the problems, but like with
: any rewrite, there are still many that remain.  It's not clear that 052x
: will fix them either but by working with acpi-jp@, we can each do our part
: to at least make this a possibility.  We'd all really appreciate your
: help.

Yup.  I read the list, but have been burried until recently.  Having
my laptop being somewhat busted somewhat motivates me to help..
