ACPI Problem Fedora 13

[Montana]

Apr 21 16:05:02 Galactica kernel: Linux version 2.6.33.1-24.fc13.i686 (mockbuild@x86-01.phx2.fedoraproject.org) (gcc version 4.4.3 20100226 (Red Hat 4.4.3-8) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Tue Mar 30 18:49:12 UTC 2010


This keeps happening and filling up the /var/log/message file which in-turns slows the machine down.

Found this
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/git-commits-head/2009/4/5/5411984 is the code/patch for the thing responsible for the message.

I fear you are better served going to bugzilla and filling a bug report on that so they can contact the guys from the kernel and see what is the problem.

Temporaly you can try noacpi on grub and see if the messages go away, it has something to do with something trying to access non-existent ports not sure.

Thanks for the response, I've all ready submitted a bug report. I was hoping that maybe someone alse might have had the same problem and came across a fix. This is happening on 7 machines that I know of. Ive tried to temporally disable acpi in grub to know avail.
Thanks again for the response and have a great day.

You can have a look in your bios settings and there are usually a bunch of ACPI options some of them for legacy versions. It depends how old you board is. You can try turning some of them off and see if any of them help.

thanks for the response. Ive tried that but no Joy. I really hope this problem can be solved, the message file keeps filling up until it chokes the machine.

Thanks again, any and all help greatly appreciated and will be tried by me.

Some friends told me that they where able to fix this problem
in PCLinuxOS and Mandriva by disabling ACPI, SMP, APIC, LocalAPIC.
Can some one point me in the right direction in Fedora.

All help greatly appreciated

try appending noacpi to the kernel lines in /etc/grub.conf
