Dear: Kernel Team; I have a conundrum, and figured that you might be the best place to ask about acpi errors that might not be fixed while Debian is in freeze.
I am getting a lot of ACPI Exception errors, this is from my dmesg, and shows up in kern.log as well. ACPI: query EC, IB not empty ACPI: query EC, IB not empty ACPI: query EC, IB not empty ACPI: query EC, IB not empty ACPI: query EC, IB not empty ACPI: query EC, IB not empty ACPI: read EC, IB not empty ACPI: read EC, OB not full ACPI Exception (evregion-0424): AE_TIME, Returned by Handler for [EmbeddedControl] [20060707] ACPI Exception (dswexec-0458): AE_TIME, While resolving operands for [OpcodeName unavailable] [20060707] ACPI Error (psparse-0537): Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.PIB_.EC0_.SMRD] (Node cfa03914), AE_TIME ACPI Error (psparse-0537): Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.BAT2.UPBI] (Node cfa06478), AE_TIME ACPI Error (psparse-0537): Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.BAT2._BIF] (Node cfa064a0), AE_TIME ACPI Exception (acpi_battery-0146): AE_TIME, Evaluating _BIF [20060707] ACPI: read EC, IB not empty ACPI: read EC, OB not full ACPI Exception (evregion-0424): AE_TIME, Returned by Handler for [EmbeddedControl] [20060707] ACPI Exception (dswexec-0458): AE_TIME, While resolving operands for [OpcodeName unavailable] [20060707] ACPI Error (psparse-0537): Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.PIB_.EC0_.SMRD] (Node cfa03914), AE_TIME ACPI Error (psparse-0537): Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.BAT1.UPBI] (Node cfa065cc), AE_TIME ACPI Error (psparse-0537): Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.BAT1._BIF] (Node cfa065f4), AE_TIME ACPI Exception (acpi_battery-0146): AE_TIME, Evaluating _BIF [20060707] ACPI: write EC, IB not empty ACPI: write EC, IB not empty ACPI: write EC, IB not empty ACPI Exception (evregion-0424): AE_TIME, Returned by Handler for [EmbeddedControl] [20060707] ACPI Error (psparse-0537): Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.PIB_.EC0_._Q20] (Node cfa03874), AE_TIME According to my searches on these errors, it seems that some newer kernels might fix this problem. I am using a Sony laptop PCG-FX215 with an 800 AMD Duron, that is not in production any more and getting a fixed bios is not going to happen. I am running Linux-Image 2.6.18-3-k7, testing. I get these errors repeating in my logs, and it seems that hald is hogging my resources, as I am unable to log into a user account, and my touch pad mouse is unresponsive for a few minutes after startup. Also if I change to another console I get the above error messages, from std out, and I fail login as it spams during my password. hald does give me my console after some time, but is still hogging resources as top indicates. I was wondering about your advice with this bug, I could file a bug report, but from my searches It is unclear what I would file it under. If it is fixed in a newer kernel, which I am not sure of as the LKML did not mention it specifically. From some of the information I came about on my searches indicated that this could be a bios problem, more than a kernel problem, but I am not sure and ask for your advice. I really don't want to install several kernels, if I don't know which kernel solves the problem. Thanks; Gnu_Raiz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
