Description Arturo Mann 2005-05-20 21:51:21 UTC 
Distribution: Gentoo! Linux 2005.0
Hardware Environment: x86 PCIe Intel 925x based mainboard, Pentium 4 HT EE 2mb
l3 cache, LPGa 775, PCIe based mainboard.
Software Environment: i686-pc-linux-gnu kernel 2.6.11.6 gcc 3.4.3
Problem Description:
Upon starting up the kernel, before the splash starts - ACPI gives out the
following Error:

ACPI-* errors on reading battery state
3 bugs found. 
Steps to reproduce:
It is just required to compile in acpi to the kernel, and then you will see the
ugly error every time your machine boots up. It also takes a few seconds to be
cleared from the screen and for the machine to move on.
Comment 1 Robert Moore 2005-05-26 10:33:46 UTC 
What version of ACPI CA are you using?  This was probably fixed in version 
20050310:

10 March 2005.  Summary of changes for version 20050310:

1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:

The string-to-buffer implicit conversion code has been modified again after a 
change to the ACPI specification.  In order to match the behavior of the other 
major ACPI implementation, the target buffer is no longer truncated if the 
source string is smaller than an existing target buffer. This change requires 
an update to the ACPI spec, and should eliminate the recent 
AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT issues.
Comment 2 Arturo Mann 2005-05-28 14:05:26 UTC 
The version for this particular error is : 20050211
I am now attempting to get 2.6.11.11 to see if the problem is still there.
Comment 3 Arturo Mann 2005-06-03 06:38:17 UTC 
The bug remains in Kernel version 2.6.11.10.
Comment 4 Robert Moore 2005-06-03 07:47:16 UTC 
Therefore, the question remains: What version of ACPI CA?
Comment 5 Arturo Mann 2005-06-04 11:39:54 UTC 
cat /proc/acpi/info
version:                 20050211

,,,should I try kernel 2.6.12?
Comment 6 Robert Moore 2005-09-29 14:04:02 UTC 
This was fixed in 20050310
Comment 7 Len Brown 2006-02-02 15:07:05 UTC 
20050309 shipped in Linux-2.6.12 -- closing.
