Distribution: Debian/GNU SID 
Hardware Environment: Acer TravelMate 432LC (P4 2.5GHz, MB Intel 845G, Ati

(original)
Problem Description:
After time (1-5 hours) system freezes totally. CPU Usage is 100 % (cpu fans run
quickly). In syslog I've got this errors:

May 5 15:59:49 drax kernel: psargs-0352: *** Error: Looking up [PBIF] in namespace,
AE_NOT_FOUND
May 5 15:59:49 drax kernel: psparse-1121: *** Error: Method execution failed

Message is repeated till system isn't reseted.
When I boot kernel with parameter acpi=off, everythigs works fine (don't freezes
 and don't works my battery informations).

Steps to reproduce:
Simple, boot kernel and wait for freeze.

Please create attachments for
1) /proc/acpi/dsdt
Comment 2 Luming Yu 2003-05-13 00:53:24 UTC 
2) lscpi -v
3) dmesg output after kernel boots up
4) /proc/interrupts

Does latest acpi patch (20030509) has such symptom? (Both 2.4 and 2.5)
Does this box has 845G motherboard?

Hi,
2.5.66 kernel is configured only for reproduce this behaviour. When I reboot
this kernel version, after reset machine is screen black and i must press
ctrl-alt-del to reset it again. So I don't use this kernel for normal work.
Today I'll try 2.4.21-rc2 patchand 'll send you informations about it.
Comment 5 hancik 2003-05-14 01:57:48 UTC 
Hi,
I applied acpi patch 20030512 to kernel 2.4.21-rc2 and it look likes it works !
I have now uptime 14 hours without freeze so I hope it'll be works fine still.

Please re-open if that isnt' the case. 
 
thanks,
