Description Qian Cai 2008-07-11 07:47:43 UTC
Description of problem:
Capture Kernel goes to infinite ACPI error loop on HP-XW4600 machine,

ACPI Error (evgpe-0711): No handler or method for GPE[1C], disabling event
[20060707]
ACPI Error (evgpe-0711): No handler or method for GPE[1D], disabling event
[20060707]
ACPI Error (evgpe-0711): No handler or method for GPE[1E], disabling event
[20060707]
ACPI Error (evgpe-0711): No handler or method for GPE[1F], disabling event
[20060707]
ACPI Error (evgpe-0711): No handler or method for GPE[ 0], disabling event
[20060707]

It looks like it should be fixed with the the BIOS >= 2.0 from an old bug,

204809: ACPI Error (evgpe-0711): No handler or method for GPE

but the latest BIOS for this model is only 1.06 Rev. A (1 Feb 2008).

Don't know if this is a BIOS bug or not. I asked someone to upgrade the BIOS for
this machine.
