Nobody ever helped. I found that on my old DLE, the messages will stop if you unplug the cable to the onboard fxp0 interface. They seem to happen each time the device interrupts the host. These messages are a total DOS on a server with a serial console, so I wouldn't be surprised if they caused a perceptable slowdown on a box with a graphics head. Good luck getting an ACPI developer interested in it. I had no luck. My advice is to just disable ACPI & forget about using it. Drew
