I'm not sure. Scenario what I see is the following: 1. ACPI initializes GPE at the boot time quite early. 2. At that time there is no I²C host controller driver loaded and hence no ACPI space handler installed. 3. But GPE (_L20 to be precise) is active (sounds like flooding) and ACPI tries to execute the corresponding methods, but... see 2 above. -- You may reply to this email to add a comment.
