Hello, I have attached some information of my system. Motherboard model: ASUS P4S800 - SiS 648FX
Hi, Juan According the ACPI spec, the Processor block should be defined as the following: (Processorname, ProcessorID, PBLKaddress PBLKLen) PBLKLen is the length of processor register block in byts and either 0(for no PBLKaddress) or 6. But the processor block in your BIOS is defined as : Processor (\_PR.CPU0, 0x00, 0x0000E410, 0x05) The pblock length is different with the length required by ACPI spec. So the OS reports that ACPI: Invalid PBLK length[5]. It is appropriate to fix this problem by BIOS update. Thanks.
PBLK is needed for the processor C-state and T-state control. As it's a desktop, maybe this is not needed/support by your processor, could you attach the content of /proc/cpuinfo please?
