@Ton van Vliet: See #20 for a "by hand" patch for the actual problem - thanks to Frank Larimer for identifying it there.
This or an equivalent made it into 10.10's kernel as described in my #22, so 10.10 is the lazy option if you want to upgrade. [Do I read it right: The MS compiler generates code with malformed addresses that are supposed to be 32-bit by the spec, while MS Windows cheerfully ignores upper 16 bits? Or is this something the author of the DSDT has to directly screw up, and Windows' behavior just lets them get away with it?] re: 10.10 on these systems, the unrelated noise from the other bug mentioned in my #22 is actually more intermittent/not nearly so much of an issue or annoyance as I first thought, if it's not already fixed anyway [haven't checked since 10.10 went final, it may have been fixed by now]. Importing or enabling the "N,000 messages: Ignoring" feature as found in certain BSDs might not be a bad idea, still... -- Karmic desktop livecd constant kernel ACPI exception messages: AE_LIMIT, Returned by Handler for [SystemIO] 20090521 evregion-424 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/475704 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
