Subject : acpi error on 2.6.27-rc1+ (ACPI Error (dsobject-0501)) Submitter : Marcin Slusarz <marcin.slusarz@gmail.com> Date : 2008-08-03 18:29 References : http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121778823123488&w=4 This entry is being used for tracking a regression from 2.6.26. Please don't close it until the problem is fixed in the mainline.
Please attach the full dmesg output. Please attach the acpidump output using the latest pmtools at: http://www.lesswatts.org/patches/linux_acpi/
Sounds like a BIOS/ACPICA problem. Re-assign to Ming.
Will you please confirm whether the system is affected by the warning message or the warning message is harmless? From the acpidump it seems that this warning message is related with the BIOS. The package count of _PSS object is set to 0x03. But the BIOS give the incorrect package length. > Name (_PSS, Package (0x03) { Package (0x06) { 0x000007D0, 0x000105B8, 0x00000064, 0x00000007, 0xE020298C, 0x0000018C }, Package (0x06) { 0x00000708, 0x0000DAC0, 0x00000064, 0x00000007, 0xE0202A0A, 0x0000020A }, Package (0x06) { 0x000003E8, 0x00005208, 0x00000064, 0x00000007, 0xE0202C82, 0x00000482 }, Zero, Zero, Zero, Thanks.
It's not a bug. It just prints an error message because the declared package length does not match the actual length of the package.

Ming, what's your plan of this bug? do you think if an ACPI_ERROR is needed here? The incorrect parameter is harmless in this bug. change the ACPI_ERROR to ACPI_WARNING or ACPI_DB_INFO? Marcin, The s3 failure seems to be another bug. Please file a new bug report about this. thanks. :)
Created attachment 17136 [details] change the ACPI_ERROR to ACPI_WARNING Close it since it's not a bug. Change the ACPI_ERROR to ACPI_WARNING for this case.
when will this patch hit mainline?
Well, I guess when Andi picks it up.
Lin Ming, please only close bugs when the patch has been merged. Otherwise we can lose track. Also please always add description and sign-off. Thanks I'm not sure why this is tracked as a regression. Other than the harmless message is there actually something broken? I can merge the patch for test at least, but I'm not sure we really need it for .27 It's now commit 1371c893ff9de0d57fa5b5cf0255d66b8849e13d Author: Ming Ling <ming.m.lin@intel.com> Date: Mon Aug 18 04:14:59 2008 +0200 ACPI: Change package length error to warning in test
Rafael please take this off the regression list
Done.
