Hello,
while testing OpenIndiana (and Solaris 11) on an HP xw8600 workstation,
I noticed messages like this occurring regularly during bootup:

What kind of ACPI problem is indicated here? Anything to worry about? I did
notice stability issues on Solaris 11, but not on OpenIndiana, so I guess these
are unrelated to the ACPI stuff.
The BIOS version is the latest available for this machine.
Thanks in advance
Oliver
When I was last working on an ACPI update (which I think is what's
currently in illumos and OI) Yuri Pankov was helping me test the code,
and observed a problem on his HP laptop that looked something like
this, if I recall correctly. He did some further experimenting and
found that he could make his laptop boot without the ACPI errors by
attaching the "EC" device a bit later.
He showed me a possible fix, which I asked him to do some more work
on, but then he ran out of time or something. Maybe you'd like to
pick up his changes and try them?
ACPICA 20100915 isn't the latest version available at the moment (at
least in illumos tree), which means that you are missing some fixes
Gordon did. Please try upgrading your OpenIndiana installation first and
check if it helps.
