This is a firmware bug, not something we can fix. The kernel is doing the right thing here, reporting a firmware failure.
Comment 2 Stoicescu Cornel 2014-07-23 07:59:45 UTC
I will do a firmware upgrade to the latest version provided by the vendor.
Comment 3 Stoicescu Cornel 2014-07-23 12:39:40 UTC
Still there after the BIOS update. I believe this board does not offer ACPI, correct? In this case we will ignore this message from now one.
Comment 4 Darren Hart 2014-07-23 17:10:05 UTC
It most certainly offers ACPI, it just appears to have a buggy implementation.
