[ACPI] - Kernel 2.6.3 - Error ACPI-0279 & ACPI-1120

Please CC me all answers


I use a Gentoo kernel linux-2.6.3-gentoo-r2 and I get this error
suddenly :

Mar  3 17:21:30 efflam ACPI-0279: *** Error: Looking up [BUFF] in namespace, AE_ALREADY_EXISTS

so I take a look at /proc and I see this :

If I extract my battery all error messages stop.
I don't have a oops in this session.

When I boot all ACPI messages are :

Did somebody know how I can stop this error (exept reboot :) ?

If you need any other informations, ask me.
