Re: Odd PCI and ACPI messages on 'INSYDE RSDT_000' laptop

Hello,

Last week I got a laptop from a few friends of mine with a broken
screen. I removed the screen from the device and connected a regular CRT
to it to install FreeBSD 6.1 on it for serving as a jukebox (silent,
doesn't consume too much power).

I first tried FreeSBIE 1.1, which just deadlocked during the bootsplash.
After that I downloaded a FreeBSD 6.1 CD. When I boot FreeBSD 6.1
without the ACPI kernel module, it panics (fatal trap 12) right after
probing uhci0. When I boot with ACPI, it boots like it should. Because
the laptop doesn't have a serial connector, I didn't copy the kernel
backtrace. If it is really needed, I'll boot the CD once again and type
over the screen contents.

Anyway, I installed FreeBSD 6.1 on it, with the ACPI module loaded, but
I still get some really strange messages in my dmesg I thought would be
useful to mention:

| ...
| cpu0: <ACPI CPU> on acpi0
| acpi_perf0: <ACPI CPU Frequency Control> on cpu0
| acpi_perf0: failed in PERF_STATUS attach
| device_attach: acpi_perf0 attach returned 6
| ...
| acpi_perf0: <ACPI CPU Frequency Control> on cpu0
| acpi_perf0: failed in PERF_STATUS attach
| device_attach: acpi_perf0 attach returned 6
| ...

And these:

| ...
| pci_link0: BIOS IRQ 11 for 0.2.INTA is invalid
| pci_link1: BIOS IRQ 5 for 0.31.INTB is invalid
| ...
| pci_link4: BIOS IRQ 11 for 1.0.INTA is invalid
| pci_link5: BIOS IRQ 11 for 1.1.INTA is invalid
| ...

The device Just Works at the moment, so I can live with it, but I
was wondering if these messages do any harm. I've attached the entire
dmesg of the device for those who are interested.

If your machine works, then don't worry about the pci_link messages.
