I saw this bug on the RHEL6 kernel as well; if you feel it's relevant to rhel6, perhaps we can fix it there too. Thanks, -Eric +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #585756 +++ My machine is a HP Pvvilion AMD64 Athlon 2 Gig of memory The /var/log/message files keeps filling up with this error and slowily slows the machine down to a crawl.

I can attach dsdt tables etc as well if anyone is interested. --- Additional comment from mjg@redhat.com on 2010-05-18 07:58:33 EDT --- Yeah. Please install the pmtools package and run acpidump as root, then attach the output. --- Additional comment from mjg@redhat.com on 2010-05-18 12:08:30 EDT --- Ok, got the acpidump from Eric, verified the behaviour of Windows and generated a patch. I'll test it a little more and then send it upstream and backport. --- Additional comment from esandeen@redhat.com on 2010-05-18 12:36:19 EDT --- Created an attachment (id=414905) acpidump from compaq sr1710nx Attaching the acpidump here, just for posterity. Thanks Matthew! -Eric --- Additional comment from mjg@redhat.com on 2010-05-18 14:00:21 EDT --- Can you test http://fedorapeople.org/~mjg59/kernel-2.6.33.4-101.local.fc13.x86_64.rpm ? --- Additional comment from esandeen@redhat.com on 2010-05-18 21:44:19 EDT --- Matthew, the patch did at lest shut up the messages on my kernel, thanks. -Eric
