Created attachment 1366221 [details] dmesg output during boot Description of problem: After installing kernel 4.14, I started getting these messages during boot: [ 0.033846] ACPI Exception: Could not find/resolve named package element: LNKC (20170728/dspkginit-381) [ 0.033846] ACPI Exception: Could not find/resolve named package element: LNKD (20170728/dspkginit-381) [ 0.033846] ACPI Exception: Could not find/resolve named package element: LNKA (20170728/dspkginit-381) [ 0.033846] ACPI Exception: Could not find/resolve named package element: LNKB (20170728/dspkginit-381) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-4.14.3-300.fc27.x86_64 Additional info: This is on a Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P motherboard with an AMD Phenom II X6 1100T CPU. I haven't seen any similar messages on any other system running the 4.14 kernel. So far, Google returns just a couple of results and one of them is also about a Gigabyte motherboard (GA-880GMA-UD2H) with a Phenom II X4 840. Other than these messages, I haven't encountered any "actual" problems yet.
Same thing here: ACPI: Added _OSI(Processor Aggregator Device) ACPI: Actual Package length (1) is larger than NumElements field (0), truncated ACPI: Actual Package length (1) is larger than NumElements field (0), truncated ACPI: Actual Package length (1) is larger than NumElements field (0), truncated ACPI: Actual Package length (1) is larger than NumElements field (0), truncated ACPI Exception: Could not find/resolve named package element: LNKC (20170728/dspkginit-381) ACPI Exception: Could not find/resolve named package element: LNKD (20170728/dspkginit-381) ACPI Exception: Could not find/resolve named package element: LNKA (20170728/dspkginit-381) ACPI Exception: Could not find/resolve named package element: LNKB (20170728/dspkginit-381) My motherboard is also a Gigabyte (GA-890GPA-UD3H) with an AMD Phenom II X6 1055T processor.
Hi, Can one of you please file an upstream bug for this here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=ACPI You will need to create an account there (just requires an email-address, not a huge form to fill). As component just pick "ACPICA-core" Thanks & Regards, Hans
Thanks Hans! I have submitted a bug there: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198167
(In reply to Jorge Martínez López from comment #3) > Thanks Hans! > > I have submitted a bug there: > https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198167 Thank you. I don't expect anything to be done about this at the Fedora level (other then hopefully picking up the fix eventually) so I'm going to close this bug with the resolution being this being handled / tracked upstream.
Since this wasn't getting anywhere upstream and I managed to reproduce this on one of my laptops I've gotten involved and written a patch-set lowering these new errors log-level to warning so that they will not show on the console. Hopefully this patch-set will be accepted upstream.
The linked kernel.org but has been marked closed/fixed and patches issued. Can you _please_ incorporate these patches into Fedora kernels (and no, not just the most recent one for 28 beta!!!) This issue is annoying thousands of Fedora users worldwide, your prompt cooperation will sure be much appreciated.
