Package: acpi
Severity: important
 
Hi,
I'm having some problems with Debian Squeeze.
Starting the PC (boot), I get these messages:
 
[    5.679226] i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.3: PCI INT C -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18
[    5.679231] ACPI: I/O resource 0000:00:1f.3 [0x400-0x41f] conflicts with ACPI region SMRG [0x400-0x40f]
[    5.679276] ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should use it instead of the native driver
 
Now the bad news: I read some articles that are related to this, and something really worried me: sometimes the software (used by Linux) may end up by setting incorrect voltages/clock speed values to the hardware and damage it. (source: http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/FAQ/Chapter3#Mysensorshavestoppedworkinginkernel2.6.31)
 
QUESTIONS:
 
I would like to know how can I ensure that my hardware was not damaged by this conflict. Any procedures?
And, to solve this problem, what can I do to fix the conflict?
 
My hardware: Intel i3 530 2,93Ghz, 4GB RAM, ASUS P7H55M-BR, SAMSUNG HD 250GB, SEAGATE HD 80GB, LG DVDRW, C3 TECH 500W POWER SYPPLY.

You have misunderstood the answer there.

This error message means that the kernel has automatically resolved the
conflict by preventing the i801_smbus (native) driver from using the
IO-ports which are also used by the BIOS.  So far as I can see, no
damage will be done.
