AE_AML_REGION_LIMIT trouble

2003-10-19T13:24:18Z

Greetings everyone on this mailinglist,

I seem to be having a small ACPI problem, of which I don't really know
what it exactly means,
or what I can do to fix it. I'm running linux kernel 2.6.0-test8 and
I've seen this error from as early as
2.6.0-test1. The machine is a MSI-6728 motherboard with a P4 (with HT)
on it. Below I've put the output of dmesg (up to where acpi messages stop).
Please let me know if there is anything else you might be interested in
to clarify this situation because I'm really curious if this is BIOS problem
or a possible bug in the ACPI code.

with kind regards,

Eric
