After updating the BIOS to enable ACPI, I'm now getting the following (verbose) console message during boot and every 10 seconds thereafter: ACPI Error: [RTMP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20101013/psargs-464) ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_TZ_.THRM._TMP] (Node 0xc56b0760), AE_NOT_FOUND (20101013/psparse-633) acpi_tz0: error fetching current temperature -- AE_NOT_FOUND The unit seems to run very warm which makes me wonder if this problem is preventing lower power states, if such things are related. I've collected the outputs from a verbose dmesg, from sysctl hw.acpi, and from acpidump. They are zipped up over here: http://www.agilecontrols.com/post/aec6831_acpi.zip I've also included datasheets of the system and motherboard in case they are useful. I ran the asl file through iasl and noticed 3 errors and 1 warning seemingly unrelated to this problem. I fixed these problems good enough to get rid of the compiler messages and loaded the aml file for the next boot, but the behaviour didn't change. The system is on my bench for development right now, so I'm able to poke around and try things. For now I've simply reduced the ACPI messages to weekly with # sysctl hw.acpi.thermal.polling_rate = 604800 By the way, what happens with a polling_rate of 0? I tried this and the messages stopped, then changed it back to 10 seconds but the messages never came back again... Ed VanderPloeg
