22 so you are using a driver meant for stable (old) systems, with a pre
23 release kernel - and you don't even know what do do with that message?
24
25 Does that do no seem a bit silly? hm?
26
27 acpi_bus_get_device is gpl only. You can undo that. If you want.
28
29 But seriously, what is wrong with using stable releases like 3.10.x? If
30 you use ati-drivers, you don't need the amd driver improvements in 3.11
31 or 3.12.
