Thanks for the hint! I went fiddling with settings in my BIOS, and turned on ACPI (there was no 'PnP OS' setting, but someone else mentioned ACPI earlier), and the message is now gone. It's been replaced with a lot of messages telling me that ACPI is working and happy to serve me. > The "maildirs issue", I won't comment on, at this time.
