ACPI error at start-up

I'm new to Devuan.

PC specs
MB Asus P8H61-M LX
CPU Intel i5-2500
RAM 8Gb

I installed devuan_ascii_2.0.0_amd64_netinst.iso on the said PC.

every time I start-up, it gives the ff error msg (twice):

[  1.160064] ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160831/psargs-359)
[  1.160228] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCIO.SAT0.SPT0._GTF] (Node ffff9ebb96dc8b40), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160831/psparse-543)

But the system is running fine.

Not sure if this is a major issue or a minor one.

fyi...

Re: ACPI error at start-up

@Sevilla.Larry Those and other kinds of ACPI parsing complaints are typically nothing to worry about. Just copy the error messages into a web search tool, and browse a few of the discussions it will find to learn some more.

Welcome to the forum.

Hello. Check this.

Re: ACPI error at start-up

Hello:

I'm new to Devuan.

Welcome.

[  1.160064] ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160831/psargs-359)
[  1.160228] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCIO.SAT0.SPT0._GTF] (Node ffff9ebb96dc8b40), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160831/psparse-543)

I've been getting this forever, with any distro I've tried.
And on an older, very different rig: a Sun Ultra24 WS on Intel Q9550 w/8Gb:

groucho@devuan:~$ sudo dmesg | grep -i error
[    0.145089] ACPI Error: [SUPP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160831/psargs-359)
[    0.145099] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB._OSC] (Node ffff9897731b8000), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160831/psparse-543)
groucho@devuan:~$ 

By now, it seems to be a standard issue warning about a kernel whatever that will not ever be fixed because it's (apparently) harmless.
See they have the same (20160831/psargs-359) and (20160831/psparse-543) tags.

Linux has quite a few of those and ACPI/crap BIOS combos are probably one of the main culprits.

Cheers,

A.

Re: ACPI error at start-up

I bought my motherboard in 2012 and never had these messages. One month ago I downloaded and installed the most recent  bios for this mobo and now my Devuan is stuck 2  minutes at boot with a bunch of these ACPI errors. The system runs fine after that but I wonder if I will not install my previous bios.

Some bios could be switched with an assimilable hook (disassembling reassembling the new bios) but i dont know where you can find one part. Is you bios an EPROM, what is the reference ?

Re: ACPI error at start-up

I don't know. Here is the reference :

I was using version 1H since I bought the mb and now I use v4.3
