What does that mean? It's a sign that you need to upgrade your firmware. My understanding is that you need at least revision 94 which, AFAIK, has not been released yet. Could someone from Intel comment please? One thing I forgot to mention in my 2.4.10 patch announcement: you'll also see a bunch of ACPI warning messages with the new kernel. Those are harmless: the ia64 linux kernel is currently a bit lazy about marking physical memory areas used for I/O as "reserved" and that's why ACPI is complaining. I suppose if someone wanted to use PCMCIA or other hotpluggable devices, this could become a real problem. It's certainly something that will have to be fixed in the not too distant future. --david
