Did you get the errors on your machine or do you have a patch for rc-7 in which you the FADT error checking. The machine I have is an HP xw4600 workstation, I can check for exact details upon the hardware, that might help uncover what is correct and what isn't. The machine seems to be working ok, only during boot time It has some issues to deal with and so booting takes longer. I am not running windows on this system so I cannot tell, it came with windows default installed, but I kicked it off, because I use this machine for different purposes. Let me send you the complete dmesg of this machine. Maybe the implemented something windows specific here...

It appears to be a Compaq, maybe model number LX38. We've recently improved the FADT error checking, here's what I get: ACPI Warning (tbfadt-0626): 32/64X length mismatch in Pm1aEventBlock: 32/16 [20081204] ACPI Warning (tbfadt-0626): 32/64X length mismatch in Gpe0Block: 128/32 [20081204] ACPI Error (tbfadt-0663): 32/64X address mismatch in Gpe0Block: 0000F820/000000000001F028, using 64X [20081204] ACPI Warning (tbfadt-0498): Invalid length for Pm1aEventBlock: 16, using default 32 [20081204] Also, for \_SB_.PCI0._OSC: >[ 0.304598] ACPI Error (dsfield-0139): [CAPD] Namespace lookup failure, >AE_ALREADY_EXISTS Method (_OSC, 5, NotSerialized) { Subtract (Arg2, 0x01, Local0) Name (CAPB, Buffer (Multiply (Arg2, 0x04)) {}) Store (Arg3, CAPB) Store (One, Local1) CreateDWordField (CAPB, Zero, CAPF) While (Local0) { CreateDWordField (CAPB, Local1, CAPD) CAPD is being created within a loop. On the second iteration it fails. Here's the FADT issues with the corresponding lines from the disassembled FADT: ACPI Warning (tbfadt-0626): 32/64X length mismatch in Pm1aEventBlock: 32/16 [20081204] 32: [058h 088 1] PM1 Event Block Length : 04 64: [094h 148 12] PM1A Event Block : <Generic Address Structure> [094h 148 1] Space ID : 01 (SystemIO) [095h 149 1] Bit Width : 10 [096h 150 1] Bit Offset : 00 [097h 151 1] Access Width : 00 Bit Width above should be 0x20 ACPI Warning (tbfadt-0626): 32/64X length mismatch in Gpe0Block: 128/32 [20081204] 32: [05Ch 092 1] GPE0 Block Length : 10 64: [0DCh 220 12] GPE0 Block : <Generic Address Structure> [0DCh 220 1] Space ID : 01 (SystemIO) [0DDh 221 1] Bit Width : 20 [0DEh 222 1] Bit Offset : 00 [0DFh 223 1] Access Width : 00 [0E0h 224 8] Address : 000000000001F028 I can't tell which one is correct. ACPI Error (tbfadt-0663): 32/64X address mismatch in Gpe0Block: 0000F820/000000000001F028, using 64X [20081204] 32: [050h 080 4] GPE0 Block Address : 0000F820 64: [0DCh 220 12] GPE0 Block : <Generic Address Structure> [0DCh 220 1] Space ID : 01 (SystemIO) [0DDh 221 1] Bit Width : 20 [0DEh 222 1] Bit Offset : 00 [0DFh 223 1] Access Width : 00 [0E0h 224 8] Address : 000000000001F028 Again, can't tell which one is correct. ACPI Warning (tbfadt-0498): Invalid length for Pm1aEventBlock: 16, using default 32 [20081204] This is actually repairing the problem found in the first warning above. 2 questions: 1) Do GPEs and events work on this machine? 2) Does Windows run properly on this machine?
