Title:
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS --> Kernal --> ACPI Errors: Namespace lookup
Christoper,
I reviewed my syslog concerning all Kernel-->ACPI logs via:
cat /var/log/syslog | grep kernel | grep ACPI
I have 2 questions and hope you can help me understand:
1. ACPI loaded the 8 SSDT tables. I assume these equate to the ssdt1.dat
to ssdt8.dat files obtained from acpidump.
Christopher,
I have updated the bios with Z170M-PLUS-ASUS-1803.CAP.
$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
1803
05/09/2016
The same ACPI failures still appears in my syslog. See below. Thus, the
updated bios did not fix the failures/bugs.

SunBear, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
As per https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/Z170M-
PLUS/HelpDesk_Download/ an update to your computer's buggy, insecure,
and outdated BIOS is available (1803). If you update to this following
I executed instructions 1 to 3 of https://01.org/linux-acpi/utilities in
an attempt to understand the failure msg mentioned above. The generated
files from instructions 1 to 3 are attached. SSDT 2,3,4 & 6 were
dissembled with reference to DSDT, e.g. $ iasl -e dsdt.dat -d ssdt2.dat,
and DSDT.dat
