Greetings! New laptop and suffers a few ACPI issues on linux.

OS: Ubuntu 14.10 64bit

Current kernel: 3.17.0-031700-generic #201410060605 SMP Mon Oct 6
10:07:09 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux  (from ubuntu mainline)
(also running ubuntu 14.10's latest default based on 3.16.3
("3.16.0.21.22")

Laptop: Acer Aspire E5-511, with latest BIOS (v1.03)

To be attached: 
lspci.txt
dmidecode.txt
result of 'sudo acpidump'

Booting is very temperamental, and i can't get it to hibernate/suspend without 
becoming totally non-responsive to get the /var/log/kern.log.0 file.
However, these are the results of debugging boot parameters:

acpi=off           boots but with fans constantly going
acpi=ht            boots, fan behaves itself
pci=noacpi         doesn't boot, hangs on garbled text
acpi=noirq         boots but then hangs on plymouth splash
pnpacpi=off        boots and behaves itself reasonably (currently using this)
noapic xor nolapic neither boot

/proc/acpi/fan and /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/trip_points via 'cat' are
both empty.

Recurring error messages printed:
dw_dmac INTL9C60:00: invalid resource  (for anything with the power button?)

and the following with the latter acpi debugging parameters:
"SCI (ACPI GSI 9) not registered"  and
"i2c_designware 80860F41:02 failure requesting irq 34"
"i2c_designware 80860F41:05 failure requesting irq 37"

what do you get if you boot without any of these boot option?

there is no active thermal control on your machine.
BTW, /proc/acpi/fan and /proc/acpi/thermal_zone are both removed years ago, and 
I don't know why you can still use it with 3.17 kernel.

Thanks for your time,

Trying to boot without any of the parameters gives the same results as
pci=noacpi, noapic and nolapic: just garbled text and then it freezes and won't 
respond to anything at all, so there's no choice but to just switch it off.
Full dmesg attached after booting (dmesg_full_pnpacpi=off.txt)

also for completeness, i've attached the results of

ls /sys/bus/acpi/drivers/*/ 
and 
/sys/bus/acpi/devices/*/hid

Having seen a couple of messages suggesting this might be a regression
from 3.15+, i also tried the latest 3.14 (3.14.21) from ubuntu's
kernelmainline as well as building a custom 3.17 with the patch you
linked to.

Results: Some success with patched 3.17.0 kernel! Can actually boot
without any of the parameters set now, but still some errors/warnings
recorded. (See dmesg_after_patched_kernel.txt)

3.14.21 also boots with no parameters set AND there's no warnings/errors
(e.g. nothing related to dw_dmac) at boot. (See
dmesg_with_3.14_kernel.txt)

Unfortunately neither kernel seems to completely fix the issue 100%, as it 
still won't power off properly at shutdown?
I think we're close to narrowing down the issue(s) though!

Phew!  It's been a long time since i last updated this report, and a lot
of testing has happened but everything is at long last fixed.

First of all, i think i should say what an absolute mess the UEFI/Boot
settings are in. I discovered that all these acpi problems, errors for
the keyboard, hiccups with ehci not behaving and most importantly: the
backlight not working despite reconfiguring it and the machine not
powering off properly were all caused as a result of a faulty EFI
install of ubuntu 14.10 and _i think_ some systemd-logind bug or at the
least inherent to a package in ubuntu 14.10 rather than kernel-side.

When i gave up with 14.10 yesterday and installed 14.04 LTS, there isn't
a single problem to be found anywhere; the difference in stability is
astounding.

That patch you mentioned for me to try, according to that bug report,
was ported upsteam into 3.18rc3 and i've been trying every kernel (both
mainline debug and custom made with ehci support disabled etc) during
the 3.18 cycle with varying amounts of success but never solving the
power problems fully.

I looked into the UEFI settings and found a player in this crime - tried
installing ubuntu in legacy and met with exactly all the same problems
in this bug report, then tried manually creating EFI partition and
switching back to UEFI (which caused LOTS of grey hairs!) which
eventually worked but then didn't solve the problems anyway (black
screen and random hangs at random unless modesetting was disabled) and
there seemed to be underlying systemd errors. Booting successfully was
like a 1 in 5 chance.

You'll notice that before in this bug report, i manually set systemd to
take over with "init=/lib/systemd/systemd" as this has proven effective
and harmless before with 14.04 installations - however, in ubuntu 14.10
by default the system has a bizarre mix of inits with systemd not-quite-
in-charge-100% and i suspect it wasn't getting information from a daemon
or understanding something. (I wish i hadn't just lost my last dmesg in
that reinstall.)

Since october, i've tried a kernel from just about every main version
3.12-3.18rc5 and still met with teething pains over UEFI/Legacy boot and
something else (bootloader related?). I'm quite fed up with how easy it
is to upset it and will be sticking with ubuntu trusty on my friend's
laptop for the foreseeable future.

In short: 
installing ubuntu 14.10 + booting grub-pc (legacy) -> all these acpi problems 
and needed that patch now in 3.18rc3 just to boot; instability and won't 
poweroff
installing ubuntu 14.10 + booting grub-efi (EFI) -> ehci behaves itself but the 
screen is still fickle, if not more, so and loves to keep going black
install ubuntu 14.04 + booting grub-efi (EFI) -> no problems at all, even 
powers off at shutdown

Have you try other Linux OS (except ubuntu)?

If it is only related with ubuntu 14.10 , maybe you can try ubuntu
14.04LTS with the latest version kernel.

Kernel 3.16.30 and 3.16.37

I have been struggling with the same issues, I have switched from Debian
7 to Ubuntu 14.04 to 14.10 to Snappy and back to 14.04.2.

I don't even know where to start, I am not a kernel developer, but it is
starting to seem like Microsoft took over recently, or least started
"helping" too much.

I just managed to install 14.04.2 by using acpi=no during boot from the
disk. At one point while 15 was installed I could only boot into the
system in recovery mode and then pop out of that to get a semi
functional desktop. I read about the acpi=no thing, tried it, and
suddenly I could boot up 100% and shutdown without getting stuck at a
black screen and a spinning fan. It reminds me of pulling the cartridge
out of a nintendo and trying to keep playing.

So now I am on Windows, because that's the only thing working round here
(never in a million years thought I'd say that). I finished installing
14.04.2, it started up fine, I was stoked, then I updated and upgraded
it, then rebooted. The damn thing hung and fans started spinning again
without a full power down. So I had to press and hold the power button.
Next I turned it back on (feel like I am tearing up my PC), and hit f12
and selected ubuntu and grub initiated, then it went to black screen and
fans started spinning. Now I can't boot back into Linux anymore, not
even with acpi=no.

What info do you need? I will try to get it by booting into rescue mode
or trying to boot from dvd. But the last three attempts to boot with
acpi=no failed with black screen and spinning fans.

And dw_dmac error disappeared after I set

After install and upgrade system booted. It was same dw_dmac error, but

Acer e5-551? The original reporter has e5-511, a typo perhaps?

I have same `dw_dmac INTL9C60:00: invalid resource` error on Acer Aspire
E5-511. I managed to install Linux Mint MATE 17.2 in legacy BIOS mode.
LiveUSB won't boot at first, so I selected compatibility mode in LiveUSB
boot menu.

When I try to turn laptop on, boot freezes at splash screen. When I
select Recovery Mode in grub2 boot menu and then just select "resume" in
recovery menu, system almost always boots fine, but sometimes `dw_dmac
INTL9C60:00: invalid resource` appears before I even get to recovery
menu.

When I try to turn laptop off, the screen just goes dark and fan
periodically spins very fast and then slow, then fast, then slow... I
have to hold power button to turn laptop off.

Linux Mint MATE 17.2 shipped with Linux Kernel 3.16.0-38 (3.16.7-ckt10).
I also installed 3.16.0-45 and 3.19.0-26 via Update Manager > Linux
Kernels, but that didn't helped much. First boot with newly installed
kernel works fine, but turning off still does not work, and all next
boots require to use Recovery Mode.

Linux Mint with 3.19.0-26 boots correctly sometimes (via regular boot,
not Recovery Mode).

When boot via Recovery Mode screen brightness cannot be changed with `Fn
+ left or right arrow keys`. Sound volume can be changed with `Fn + up
or down arrow keys`, however.

Please, let me know if I can provide more information.

Does the blacklisting dw_dmac help?
It did for Dmytro at least (see comment #24).

If your case the same, then I have to reassign the bug to myself.

I guess it is nodma that matters here?

Not sure, I don't know anything about dw_dmac, which is the driver for
DesignWare DMA controller.

Since there is a problem with dw_dmac, I think we should wait for that
problem fixed and then see if any problems still remained.

I have the same issue on Linux Mint 17.2 and Arch, except when I use an
old kernel (3.13)

A quick Google Search shows that many distros are related:

installed from Ubuntu mainline. The 3.13 kernel worked well but I could
not change my screen brightness. I do do this now with 4.2.1 but it
seems to be inverted so that Fn+[Left Arrow] increases brightness but
the on scree Cinnamon indicator shows brightness decreasing and vice
versa with Fn+[Right Arrow]. Also, when idle, my screen brightens when
it should be dimming.

I encountered some of these exact problems on a new Acer Aspire E5-573G.
I found a usable workaround here that allowed me to install Ubuntu Gnome
15.10. I still need to mess with BIOS trust settings to get GRUB to load
instead of Windows Bootloader but I'm confident I'll find a way. After
this downgrade my USB loaded up flawlessly in UEFI mode with secure boot
off.

http://community.acer.com/t5/E-and-M-Series/Acer-Aspire-e5-573g-You-can-
not-install-any-one-Linux/td-p/386009

===============================
Go to: http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers


Search by Product Model:

Aspire E5-573G


Select the right OS and download a bios. In my case I downloaded 1.15.


Run the ZRT_115.exe.


It will fail.


But before you close the installer, go to
C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Temp\

Search for a folder (random letters).tmp

There should be a H2OFFT-W.exe and zrt.rd file in there.

Just copy this folder and close the failing install.


In that copied folder, edit the platform.ini file.


Before:


[BIOSVersionFormat]
;[nb4-version] +
BIOSVFEnable=1
VersionFormat=XN.NN


After:


[BIOSVersionFormat]
;[nb4-version] +
BIOSVFEnable=1
VersionFormat=XN.DD


The VersionFormat value now has 'XN.DD' instead of 'XN.NN'.


This will ignore the fact that 1.25 -> 1.15 is a downgrade.


Prepare for a reboot. I.E. close unnecessary applications. Because it'll
happen automatically after running the installer.


Run H2OFFT-W.exe.


Upon reboot, you'll see a bios installing progress bar.


After that is done, press F2 during startup to get to bios. The version
should now be 1.15."

open a terminal and write 'sudo nano /etc/default/grub', go to the line

Everytime on Shut Down or Reboot came a black screen and the fan started
spinning like crazy every +-20 seconds, but the machine didn't shut down
or reboot.

Since blacklisting dw_dmac and dw_dmac_core, Shut Down and reboot work
flawlessly.

The question now is, which impact will the blacklisting have on the
performance of the machine ?

Erlington Espinoza Cardoza, What model laptop? After updating kernel
last night to 4.5 it seems to have fixed reboot issues etc.. but i still
do have issue with it randomly crashing and fans spinning loudly etc.. I
have had multiple linux distros, windows 8.1 and windows 10 installed on
mine and it seems to make no difference when it comes to it crashing
randomly (Except Fedora, for some reason that was almost unusable with
how often it crashed). I own 2x Acer E5-511-PO1P, one is shocking for
crashing and the other has just started the same issue but not as often.
Also own Acer ES1-411-C1WD, this one does not seem to crash but is slow
as anything. Slowly coming to the conclusion that Acer laptops are
rubbish... What do others think? Or has anyone else experienced the
random crashing and found a fix?

It is an Acer E5-511-P0GC, Kernel 3.16 is the only one I can use this
computer without troubles by black listing dw_dmac and dw_dmac_core. I
run Linux Mint 17 most of the time.

Confirmed.

Kernel 4.5. fixes the shutdown/reboot problem.

But my Acer Aspire E15 (E5-511-P7AT) also still freezes randomly and the
fan(s) start to spin loudly. A hard reboot is the only option then.

Does it work in latest vanilla (v5.2-rc5 now and v5.7-rc7 will be on
Monday)?
