I've just re-opened bug 109511 for these and attached a patch to lower the loglevel of errors while loading the extra ACPI tables from error to warning, which should fix the original set of errors showing on the console during boot. > ======== > ACPI Exception: Could not find/resolve named package element: LNKA > (20170728/dspkginit-381) > ACPI Exception: Could not find/resolve named package element: LNKB > (20170728/dspkginit-381) > ACPI Exception: Could not find/resolve named package element: LNKC > (20170728/dspkginit-381) > ACPI Exception: Could not find/resolve named package element: LNKD > (20170728/dspkginit-381) > ======== This new set however is not affected by the patch I've attach to bug 109511. But I do believe that we should fix it in the same manner, of the extra check introduced in 4.14 which prints these messages triggers on a lot of machines and there is nothing on the kernel side we can do to fix this, then these messages really should be logged with a log-level of warning, not error. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ acpi-bugzilla mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/acpi-bugzilla
