I've sent the patch to lower the log level to the kernel-team mailing list. An SRU justification for Lucid follows:
IMPACT: Users with native hwmon drivers will see a warning about ACPI resource conflicts over their boot splash screens. The log level of the message is KERN_ERR, which is too high for a notification/warning message. ADDRESSED: The log level has been reduced to KERN_INFO as suggested upstream. Upstream also suggested cleaning up the formatting of the message, which has been included in the patch. PATCH: See attached patch 0001-Reduce-ACPI-resource-conflict-message-to- KERN_INFO-p.patch TEST CASE: Boot a system with a native hwmon for the hardware (i.e. an nForce 2 motherboard). Watch the screen for a ACPI resource conflict message to be displayed over the boot splash. REGRESSION POTENTIAL: The change is highly unlikely to cause a regression because it is merely a message printout change. ** Patch added: "0001-Reduce-ACPI-resource-conflict-message-to-KERN_INFO-p.patch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/40603871/0001-Reduce-ACPI-resource-conflict-message-to-KERN_INFO-p.patch ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => In Progress ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Chase Douglas (chasedouglas) -- [ubuntu-boot-experience] nForce2_smbus conflicts with ACPI region SM00 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/440470 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
