Re: Several errors in kernel

Re: Several errors in kernel

[Voluspa]

The nsxfeval is completely harmless and has been fixed in the
"ACPI: Subsystem revision 20060310" present in -mm kernels.

The "Failed to allocate mem resource" is also harmless but Greg KH
has decided to not hide/fix it. Our BIOS vendors are to blame.

For a summary see:

hackers.]

It's a good question, so I'm cc:-ing the rest of the thread recipients
and adding Greg KH, so he can fight it out with anyone interested. Me,
I've given up on the issue. But as I predicted, it will hunt the list
until hidden...

Greg, here's my reply, sorry didn't quote anything from the original
message, but thread starts at:

A suggestion from my toolbox:
Try with CONFIG_PNP=y and CONFIG_PNPACPI=y.
