kernel-2.4.22-20.1.2024.2.36.nptl has it as well. I get the same thing for SiS730 chipset on Amptron K7-810 mainboard, BIOS by
AMI. I will attach output from /usr/sbin/dmidecode and /usr/sbin/acpidmp.

I just changed these to be modules. They'll appear in a 2062 and above. *** Bug 105853 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Confirmed fixed in 2097 (with acpi=on). Sorry about the delay. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030703 Description of problem: While booting my Dell Inspiron 8000 with acpi=off, I get this amusing error message in the Actual Results section below: why is it even trying to load Asus Laptop ACPI Extras if this is not an Asus laptop? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.21-20.1.2024.2.26.nptl How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot with acpi=off (I'm not sure it's needed, but that's the way I boot it) Actual Results: Asus Laptop ACPI Extras version 0.24a Couldn't get the DSDT table header Error registering Asus Laptop ACPI Extras Driver -0420: *** Error: Could not allocate an object descriptor (from dmesg output, but I saw it flying by early in the boot process) Expected Results: None like this. This is not an Asus laptop, after all. Additional info:
