Can anyone help with this ACPI error message?
« on: March 29, 2011, 10:11:28 AM »
"ACPI Error: No installed handler for fixed event [0x00000000] (20101013/evevent-264)" I've been getting lots of these log messages over several kernel versions. It doesn't seem to cause any problems, but there's hundreds every day. I don't know what it means. I've googled it and nothing comes up. I'm now running kernel 2.6.37.2-pclos1.bfs. Laptop is Toshiba L555D-S7930 with AMD Turion II Mobile 500 dual core 64 bit processor, 3GB memory, 250 GB SATA HD, ethernet, wi-fi, Intel HDA audio, fully updated KDE 4.6.1. Everything works without apparent problem. This must be taking up some system resources to log all these errors.
Using Linux for over 18 years and still counting.

you can use 2.6.37.4 a64

acpi controls parts of the hardware but you can disable acpi, on a laptop this can be problematic

Hi,

try to check for eventually available BIOS update. Be sure that module toshiba_acpi is loaded on your system, (but verify that this module apply to your system).
