ACPI Exception triggered by pata_amd driver in 2.6.24, is this an ACPI bug?

[Andrew]

Hi,

This is probably nothing since there seems to be no ill effects
but I thought someone should know because...well it bothers me.

Heres a diff of the kernel boot log between 2.6.23 and 2.6.24:

So, is it a bug?

I doubt the ACPI interpreter broke between those kernels...
Is this the same message as seen when _GTM/_STM were invoked in wrong
order (or the one not invoked at all)?
Tejun might be interested in this one...

Thanks,

ATA ACPI is now turned on by default.  It's quite likely that ATA part 
of the ACPI table on that machine is broken.  Can you try to update the 
BIOS?

The BIOS is already up to date and I don't think the mobo manufacturer
has any intention of ever bringing out a new version. I guess I will
just disable ATA_ACPI.
