All of my Linux environment are 64bits software.
Comment 7 Robert Moore 2005-05-18 10:18:06 UTC 
This warning was added to detect "executable code" at the module level, which 
has been "officially" illegal since ACPI 2.0B.

We are examining a solution to this problem to allow such legacy code to 
execute properly.
Comment 8 Olivier Mondoloni 2006-11-22 06:37:44 UTC 
I try the last kernel 2.6.18 and no problem with acpi warning.
