Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: 2.6.17.11 Distribution: Gentoo Hardware Environment: ASUS L3C/S laptop Software Environment: Problem Description: I googled out this has been reported in -mm kernel series, but that was some kernel panic. I don't get panic, the machine "works" but I have observed this message in the logs. acpi_processor-0742 [00] processor_preregister_: Error while parsing _PSD domain information. Assuming no coordination acpi-cpufreq: CPU0 - ACPI performance management activated. Steps to reproduce:
Created attachment 9184 [details] dmesg
Created attachment 9185 [details] acpidump
Looks like there is no _PSD in the DSDT, causing this message from processor_perflib.c Probably overkill to emit this message for the no _PSD case?
Yes. This message is a false alarm and should be removed in no _PSD case. Will send a patch to remove this.
Still appears with linux-2.6.19-rc6-git10
Hi, Venki Is it OK to be a ACPI_DB_INFO when no _PSD available? And others remain the same. I'll generate a patch after -rc1 comes out :)
Rui, Just y'day I sent a patch to Len to remove this message altogether :).
This should be fixed in latest 2.6.20-rc release. Closing.
I still see the message with 2.6.20-rc4-git2. :(
Created attachment 10045 [details] dmesg-2.6.20-rc4-git2
Created attachment 10046 [details] config-2.6.20-rc4-git2.gz
offending message deleted in acpi-test
patch d6637b28ffb38f207015c990e481fde5bba233d7 shipped in linux-2.6.20-rc5 closed.
