Hello,
cat /proc/apm produces oops on my DTK notebook. Using "apm=broken-psr" kernel
parameter fixes that but I lose the battery info. I'd like to have the
battery info (and it works fine in Windows) so I want to debug it and
(hopefully) fix.
The oops:
# cat /proc/apm
<1>BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00005e88
printing eip:
00002f9d
*pre = 00000000

So it looks like it dies somewhere in the APM BIOS code. But how to find
exactly where and/or why? Maybe use GDB somehow (I've used it only for really
simple debugging yet).
I've tried calling the APM 0x530A function from DOS (real mode, int 15h) and
single-stepping the BIOS APM code (using good old user-friendly Turbo
Debugger). Noticed some OUTs to 0xB1 (or something like that), then some PCI
accesses (0xCF8 and 0xCFC) and then IP ended in area of all zeros. When I
step over the int 15h call, it works fine - returns correct info.
