Hi After installing the hotplug and udev packages I get a number of error messages during boot, all looking like this (full dmesg log below):
ACPI-1133: *** Error: Method execution failed [\_SB_.LNKA._STA] (Node dffa8f40), AE_NOT_EXIST It looks by the log like there is a chance it is caused by the PCI hotplug kernel module by the log. My computer is a 733 MHz PIII so it's pretty old, and I suppose PCI hotplug needs to be supported by the hardware. However rmmod'ing pci_kernel and modprob'ing it again produces no error messages. Does anyone have an idea of what to do to get rid of the error messages, or what causes them?
