*** DANGER *** unable to remove socket power - Kernel 2.6.11 & 2.6.12-git10

[Francois Wautier]

Hi John,

Same problem here.... almost same hardware. I am currently trying Dominik's 
suggestions.


BTW you may want to have a look at my little page 
http://www.fwconsult.com/ilaptop-install.html,  I've got the whole keyboard 
mapped :)

Cheers,
	François
