Bug#273293: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-k7-smp: I see the same thing on a Tyan S2881 w/BIOS 2.04, 6GB RAM
Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-k7-smp
Version: 2.6.8-3
Followup-For: Bug #273293
I don't see any ill effects that I can directly link to that error.
OTOH, with some BIOS settings, kacpid will use 100% CPU time. Turning off
"Power Management/APM" seems to have made that go away, though. It didn't
make the PnP error messages go away, and neither did PnP O/S = yes, instead
of the usual no. Not even nobiospnp on the kernel command line makes a
difference; Shouldn't it disable this code?
