Summary: ASUS M2A-VM: Clarify warning: ACPI Warning: For \_TZ_.THRM._PSL: Return Package has no elements (empty) (20110623/nspredef-463) Product: ACPI Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: 3.1.0 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: Other AssignedTo: acpi_ot...@kernel-bugs.osdl.org ReportedBy: paulepan...@users.sourceforge.net Regression: No After changing the motherboard from an ASUS M2V-MX SE (VIA based) to an ASUS M2A-VM (SB600) [1] I am seeing the following ACPI warning in the output of `dmesg`. […] [ 1.113990] ehci_hcd: USB 2.0 'Enhanced' Host Controller (EHCI) Driver [ 1.122391] ACPI: Fan [FAN] (on) [ 1.129934] ACPI Warning: For \_TZ_.THRM._PSL: Return Package has no elements (empty) (20110623/nspredef-463) [ 1.129943] ACPI: [Package] has zero elements (ffff8800372f3d80) [ 1.129982] ACPI: Invalid passive threshold [ 1.130189] thermal LNXTHERM:00: registered as thermal_zone0 [ 1.130192] ACPI: Thermal Zone [THRM] (40 C) […] I am not sure what that means and if these ACPI messages are related or if each presents a problem by itself. Searching for the error »Return Package has no elements« on the Web, I could not find something useful and just that other boards seem to have that problem to. The BIOS version is 1604. $ sudo dmidecode # dmidecode 2.11 SMBIOS 2.4 present. 58 structures occupying 1673 bytes. Table at 0x000F0000. Handle 0x0000, DMI type 0, 24 bytes BIOS Information Vendor: Phoenix Technologies, LTD Version: ASUS M2A-VM ACPI BIOS Revision 1604 Release Date: 12/19/2007 Address: 0xE0000 Runtime Size: 128 kB ROM Size: 1024 kB Characteristics: ISA is supported PCI is supported PNP is supported APM is supported BIOS is upgradeable BIOS shadowing is allowed Boot from CD is supported Selectable boot is supported BIOS ROM is socketed EDD is supported 5.25"/360 kB floppy services are supported (int 13h) 5.25"/1.2 MB floppy services are supported (int 13h) 3.5"/720 kB floppy services are supported (int 13h) 3.5"/2.88 MB floppy services are supported (int 13h) Print screen service is supported (int 5h) 8042 keyboard services are supported (int 9h) Serial services are supported (int 14h) Printer services are supported (int 17h) CGA/mono video services are supported (int 10h) ACPI is supported USB legacy is supported AGP is supported LS-120 boot is supported ATAPI Zip drive boot is supported BIOS boot specification is supported Targeted content distribution is supported […] Could you clarify the error message in the beginning. That means if that is due to the board (chipset?) itself, some wrong wiring or the ACPI implementation(?) in the BIOS.
