Can you install the pmtools package, run acpidump as root and attach the output? I suspect that these are harmless, but it'd be good to check what's going on. Created attachment 427714 [details]
output from acpidump command
acpidump also produced the following warnings on stderr:
Wrong checksum for GSCI
Wrong checksum for ATKG
Wrong checksum for GSCI!
Wrong checksum for ATKG!
Ok. What make and model of machine is this? It is a Lenovo ThinkPad SL500 laptop. The checksum issues seem to be harmless, but the package type mismatches look like they're a genuine bug in the core ACPI parsing code. I'm working with upstream to figure out what's going on.

posted patch
Hi, Steve
Would you please have a try the attached patch?
Steve, if I get a chance I can do a scratch build for you tomorrow. If not it'll be after the weekend, so in that case it may be faster for you to try a build yourself. I'm on vacation currently. I can try building myself next week, but I'll need instructions for how to do so. Hi all, I am having exactly the same problem on a Lenovo Thinkpad SL500 with Fedora 13 x86_64 installed. I am no developer, but if you can give me the patch with instructions how to install it (and if it fails how to roll back), I can try it out. Could someone make a build or provide instructions for making one? A fix for this has been committed for F13 and F14. kernel-2.6.34.8-68.fc13 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 13. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/kernel-2.6.34.8-68.fc13 kernel-2.6.34.8-68.fc13 has been pushed to the Fedora 13 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. I can confirm that the message "Expecting a [Reference] package element" is now gone from dmesg. On the other hand, dmesg does still report some warnings about incorrect checksums. Here is the output from dmesg involving these warnings: ACPI: EC: EC description table is found, configuring boot EC ACPI: Executed 1 blocks of module-level executable AML code ACPI Warning: Incorrect checksum in table [SSDT] - 4E, should be DD (20100121/tbutils-314) ACPI Warning: Incorrect checksum in table [ATKG] - BE, should be 73 (20100121/tbutils-314) ACPI: SSDT 00000000bddc87f0 00244 (v01 PmRef TP-6A 00000180 INTL 20051117) ACPI: SSDT 00000000bddc8ad0 00765 (v01 PmRef Cpu0Cst 00003001 INTL 20051117) ACPI Warning: Incorrect checksum in table [SSDT] - 37, should be C7 (20100121/tbutils-314) ACPI: SSDT 00000000bddc8720 000C8 (v01 PmRef TP-6A 00000180 INTL 20051117) ACPI: SSDT 00000000bddc8a40 00085 (v01 PmRef Cpu1Cst 00003000 INTL 20051117) ACPI: Interpreter enabled ACPI: (supports S0 S3 S4 S5) ACPI: Using IOAPIC for interrupt routing PCI: MMCONFIG for domain 0000 [bus 00-ff] at [mem 0xe0000000-0xefffffff] (base 0xe0000000) PCI: MMCONFIG at [mem 0xe0000000-0xefffffff] reserved in ACPI motherboard resources ACPI: EC: GPE = 0x1b, I/O: command/status = 0x66, data = 0x62 ACPI Warning: Incorrect checksum in table [SSDT] - 4E, should be DD (20100121/tbutils-314) ACPI: No dock devices found. PCI: Ignoring host bridge windows from ACPI; if necessary, use "pci=use_crs" and report a bug ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (0000:00) Afraid we can't do anything about the checksum errors - your BIOS is feeding us bad tables. I updated my BIOS firmware to the latest version and then restored BIOS settings to manufacturer defaults, and I still get the checksum warnings in Fedora 14.
