Kernel boot messages: ACPI BIOS error (bug)

Hello everyone :waving_hand:,

Quite a new user to Linux here (6 months total and 3 on EndeavourOS)

Q1

I wanted to know what those messages mean, since I don’t remember seeing them before (or maybe I just didn’t pay attention).

From my research, it would seem they aren’t bad, but I would prefer to fix them if possible, as I do not like seeing them.

My specs are below, I have the latest BIOS the manufacturer provides on their website (v332) and I recently did a CMOS reset for unrelated reasons.

Here is the link for the BIOS I currently have (select G814JIR):

Q2

On the same related topic, what is this process? Because, again, I don’t remember seeing that before:

It takes around 4s in the total boot time, and I wanted to know if there is something I can do about it.

Thank you in advance.

Hi, @Lewkiy

Q1: As far as I know these ACPI-related errors are not Linux-related. It is purely a firmware responsibility, so the only way to fix it is to wait for a new firmware update. When I owned an Intel-based laptop, same error were showing until manufacturer released a firmware update.

Q2: Maybe this thread will help you solve this issue :slight_smile:
