ACPI with fc17 kernel 3.6.10

[gossamer]

Hi,

I see the following messages during boot and wondered if there was something wrong:

[    5.882542] ACPI: Invalid Power Resource to register!
[    8.620940] ACPI Warning: 0x0000000000000580-0x000000000000059f SystemIO conflicts with Region \_SB_.PCI0.SBUS.SMBI 1 (20120711/utaddress-251)

[    8.621082] lpc_ich: Resource conflict(s) found affecting gpio_ich

They appear to be just warnings, but does it just mean there is a driver that is out of date?

How can I find out what device it is referring to? Is this something that can be adjusted in the BIOS?

Here is the lspci output:

Any ideas greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Try

cat /proc/ioports

and then search for addresses starting at 580, 428 or 500.

What kind of motherboard is this? Did you install the latest BIOS update?

Hi,

It's a SuperMicro X9SCM board with an i3-2120 CPU. I'm pretty sure it has the latest BIOS.

/proc/ioports really doesn't show much:

# cat /proc/ioports |egrep '580|428|500'
  0500-057f : pnp 00:05
  0580-059f : 0000:00:1f.3

Is this something I should be concerned with, or is it mostly just aesthetics?

Thanks,
Alex
