Upon installing sarge using kernel-image-2.6.7-1-386 Version 2.6.7-2, I get the following message constantly scrolling up the screen at 2 second interfals:
PnPBIOS: pnp_dock_thread: invalid function number passed I discover this is associated with ACPI and the kpnpbiosd thread (pnp_dock_thread()). It appears that while trying to get the docking station info (pnp_bios_dock_station_info()), it request info from BIOS and BIOS tells it doen't know how to handle the request. I would think that if I got response stating that the function requested was invalid, that I would display an error once and kill myself. This isn't even a laptop. Would this be considered a kernel bug, or am I missing something? If not a bug, the only options I ahve found are: 1. Disable ACPI in the BIOS 2. Disable ACPI on the kernel command line 3. Disable CONFIG_HOTPLUG 4. Change the debug level with dmesg or in syskklogd None of which seem to be very satisfying. Are there any other options, like telling the kpnpbiosd thread that this is NOT a laptop and to not look for a docking station? -- Thanks, Nathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
