Steps to reproduce:
The problem appears every once in a while, and sometimes the battery level is
not correcly read.

Let me know if you need anything else.
Comment 4 edpeur 2005-11-01 22:29:39 UTC
Upgrading the bug Severity to Normal since it doesn't allow me to read correct
battery levels.

The messages doesn't start appearing until the desktop is fully loaded, but
since them the messages are logged every second.
Comment 5 Robert Moore 2005-11-02 15:06:52 UTC
Are there any instances of AE_ALREADY_EXISTS before AE_AML_METHOD_LIMIT?
Comment 6 edpeur 2005-11-03 00:36:06 UTC
Sure, this is how it starts:

I upgraded the BIOS (by flashing it in DOS) to version V1.07 from V1.02
(updated acpidump attached)
But I'm still getting the same errors:

Comment 8 Warren Togami 2005-11-09 10:26:36 UTC
pjones analyzed the DSDT of my Thinkpad T41 and said there is a race condition
in there that can cause this problem.  For me, this is a BIOS bug.  He suggested
booting with acpi_serialize, which seemed to solve the problem for me.  It also
seems to have solved my Intel sound screwups too...
 
Comment 9 Robert Moore 2005-11-17 10:29:05 UTC
Fixed in version 20051117

The METHOD_LIMIT error should go away completely. The ALREADY_EXISTS error 
will happen once or twice. After that, the method is marked non-reentrant and 
the error will no longer happen.

We are investigating an enhancement to get rid of the ALREADY_EXISTS error 
completely.
