Hi, could it be that the ACPI firmware expects us to support the ACPI SPMI table? The ACPI SPMI table contains a description of the IPMI interface used by the platform, and its purpose seems to be similar to the ACPI ECDT table in that it allows the OS to access IPMI resources before all ACPI namespaces are enumerated. Adding support for this table would solve this problem without stalling the boot process by waiting for the ACPI IPMI device to probe. It would also avoid any issues should the ACPI IPMI device be removed later. Armin Wolf
