OK. You've done the right thing, we can help you move on from here. First of all, is this a bug? That is, does you system behave badly because of these errors? I see it's an ACPI error, so do the fan(s) run at a decent speed, can you press the power button to invoke a graceful shutdown etc etc? If the computer acts normally, then these "errors" may not actually be a problem. It could just be the kernel saying "I tried this, but it didn't work. You didn't actually need it though" If, however, there is an issue, do you have the latest BIOS firmware for your machine? If you have the latest firmware, there there are two more things you can try, but require a bit more work. One is to compile and run the latest vanilla kernel (that is, from kernel.org); that may include a workaround. Two is to compile your own ACPI DSDT and fix the errors. There are plenty of HOWTOs on the internet for achieving both of these.
