I am using a Foxconn A7GM-S 2, with the newest BIOS: ID 872F1P02,
Version 08.00.14 - At boot up, I get the following message:
####

_PSS objects in a way that Linux understands. Please report this to the Linux
ACPI maintainers and complain to your BIOS vendor.

- I am using the 32 bit latest kernel from Jaunty:
- Linux grisell 2.6.28-11-server #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 02:48:10 UTC 2009
i686 GNU/Linux
+ This happens in both 32 and 64 bits. This is not a kernel bug, but a
+ BIOS bug. This has been well established. See here for a more generic
+ bug report. See also below, it seems as if Foxconn is currently (2009
+ mid August) working on this.
- grisell: ~> lsb_release -d
- Description: Ubuntu 9.04
-
- I am not sure what other info could be useful.
