Re: ACPI init



I added these additional parameters to kernel boot line, it seems this
doesn't help, I can still see these error messages. I know this is
caused by another motherboard replacements.

I also noticed there is a line before these error message, something
like "ACPI unable to load system description tables", is this the root
cause?

the messages are pretty harmless, but there is a way to disable it.
OR you disable it in the BIOS OR you disable it in the kernel

in case you want to dual boot with windows then the last option would be the
best because windows will probably not start if its turned of in the bios..

to disable it in the kernel:
there is a file called /boot/grub/menu.lst where the boot options are listed

if you see a line similair like this, it is what you see when you start up
and can select which kernel to boot
kernel          /vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-vserver-amd64 root=/dev/md1 ro

what you can do is to add the following parameters "noapic nolapic acpi=off
"
so the complete line would look like this:
kernel          /vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-vserver-amd64 root=/dev/md1 ro noapic
nolapic acpi=off
