This is almost certainly a bug in your BIOS. Assigning to kernel so we can blacklist it. 0050:[<00002ffc>] definitly a bios bug. Can you please do the following: wget http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/dmidecode.c gcc dmidecode.c -o dmidecode ./dmidecode | less <check the output> ./dmidecode | mail -s "borked apm" hardwarebugs-list (the last step sends me an email with your bios info, please check if you are comfortable about sending this info in the step before that) Closing : BIOS issue |
