Description of problem: When I boot with Fedora 9 Preview i686 Live on a Acer Travelmate 8003LMi it gives the following error: ata2: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x9 t4 ata2: ACPI event How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert the Live CD in a Travelmate 8003LMi 2. Boot from the Live CD 3. Actual results: After the message the boot process continues, and the system seems to function correctly, except for a random notify in the lower right corner about a kernel problem. Expected results: A clean boot without the error message Additional info: Tried the same Live CD on a desktop PC and a HP laptop and it worked flawlessly.
Can you upload the file /var/log/dmesg from booting the live CD? You'll have to copy it to permanent storage while the live CD is running, like to a flash drive or something.

Tried to add the kernel parameter acpi=off and the message disappeared, but missing ACPI break several things (gnome-power-manager, ecc...)
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I believe this bug is fixed now.
