Subject: ACPI ERROR SMBus or IPMI write requires Buff of len 66, found 32...???? linux-3.0.0
Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2011 14:16:17 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4EAF1021.2090004@tlinx.org> (raw)
Was looking through boot log messages, and this one seemed 'new'...
is this saying that the device requires 66, but the driver allocated 32
bytes?
Or the opposite: i.e. driver requires 66 (according to some new
standard**) but the
device from 2009, has the 2009 standard of 32?
Just a WAG, but 20110413 looks like a date, that is certainly newer than
the system, though
it has had firmware upgrades (though none in the past 6 months or so...)...
Seems like a weird thing to be changed across drivers while not
providing for some backward
compat, but that's purely based on a notion that there's a driver/hw
version mismatch now
when before, there were no such error messages (maybe the error message
is new, and it's
always been broken? ;-) )...
as subj says linux-3.0.0, stock vanilla + the latest IMQ networkfilter
patch.

Did something that would cause this? I haven't determined what the
impact of the above
problem is -- it might be some status progs no longer work OR maybe
never worked, and now
may have a clue... ? Any insights?
