ACPI Error messages are being issued every 30 minutes and completely fill up the "messages" log. I'm wondering if there is some way to just turn the specific messages off.
Since there seems to be no other problem, I question whether or not it's worth developers' time trying to fix the root cause. So, I regret now having reported to the port-amd64 list that acpi error messages were occurring over and over. I think I may have submitted a bug report, too, but I can't find a record of having done so. Anyway, I recently updated the kernel thinking the issue might have been resolved. It still persists, which is why I'd like to find a way to turn the messages off. There is some difference in the message wording between 10.0RC and 10.1. More detail below.
