RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Eric Sandeen 2010-05-19 16:32:20 UTC 
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

Created an attachment (id=414710)
dmesg from compaq sr1710nx

I've got the same messages, this is a compaq sr1710nx, known to have a buggy bios, I guess.  I can attach dsdt tables etc as well if anyone is interested.

--- Additional comment from mjg 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 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.

Attaching the acpidump here, just for posterity.

Thanks Matthew!

Can you test http://fedorapeople.org/~mjg59/kernel-2.6.33.4-101.local.fc13.x86_64.rpm ?

Matthew, the patch did at lest shut up the messages on my kernel, thanks.
