------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-01-31 21:56 ------- > ACPI: OEMB (v001 A M I AMI_OEM 0x10000530 MSFT 0x00000097) @ 0x3ff8e040 > >>> ERROR: Invalid checksum Evidence of a shoddy BIOS, but not related to the failure at hand. The acpidump output shows that this table claims a length of 102 bytes. But the checksum across 102 bytes is non-zero. It is possible that the BIOS writer got the checksum right but the length wrong, as the checksum after 46 bytes is zero. Perhaps some buggy proprietary OS recognizes the OEM-specific "OEMB" as a fixed length structure of 46 bytes and errantly lets this BIOS through its test suite... Linux ignores any table with a bad checksum. But as Linux doesn't recognize an OEMB table, it would ignore it even if the checksum were valid. Whatever this table is, it is non-volatile: BIOS-e820: 000000003ff8e000 - 000000003ffe0000 (ACPI NVS) ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
