Re: fwts is hanging at the "Check _CRS" stage.

 

Hi Colin,

Well, after updating to the correct version, fwts still hangs at Check _CRS on this particular Dell machine.

Also, the 'q' and then Enter does not break it out of this state.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Colin,

I figured it out.

The libfwts1 package is not upgraded by default when doing an "apt-get install fwts". If I manually do an "apt-get install libfwts1", then the correct version is pulled in.

This is for the Maverick i386 version.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,

I sanity checked this with a clean install, installed fwts from
ppa:firmware-testing-team/ppa-fwts-stable and got:

dpkg -l fwts

fwts, Version V0.22.10, Thu Mar 24 09:52:06 GMT 2011

Maybe you haven't picked up the latest libfwts.so.1 - this contains the
core fwts support library and this maybe an older version.

Can you try the following:

strings /usr/lib/libfwts.so.1 | grep "^V0.22"

You should get:
V0.22.10

Maybe removing and re-installing may help. Not sure why you have this
problem.

Colin,

I updated to the latest stable fwts and I still have the problem.
However, I wonder if the package is incorrect:

$ dpkg -l fwts
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold

$ fwts -v
fwts, Version V0.22.07, Sun Mar 6 14:00:29 GMT 2011


I did try pressing 'q' and then Enter when the problem occurred and it
did not break out of the test. I still had to hit Ctrl-C to end the test.

Thanks,
Chris

Hello,

When running fwts version 0.22.07~m, it hangs at the "Check _CRS
(Current Resource Settings)." stage and will not complete.

Any ideas of what is going on here?
It hits an AML breakpoint opcode when evualting \_SB_.PCI0._CRS and the ACPICA execution engine requires some input (it goes into debug mode). A
workaround
is to press 'q' followed by enter. I will work on a correct fix later.

Colin
Thanks,
