Repeated ACPI Errors and Exceptions in Log Files

[nopycckn]

I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 - Jaunty Jackalope.
I'm receiving ACPI error and exception messages over and over again, regularly. They're definitely showing up in the following log files:

kern.log
syslog

This is a section, showing two seperate occassions. This happens somewhat regularly. I have installed Ubuntu a few different times, trying different options like acpi=off, noapic, noalpic, etc. Nothing will work. I use the update manager regularly, I check daily for updates. I have not attempted to use power savings options or anything of that sort, but I haven't had one apparent problem caused by this. It also happened with Ubuntu 8.04, and when using Fedora 10 I receive many more of the exact same messages, always in groups of three and always repeating (at least somewhat) regularly.
I use a Hewlett Packard a1050y with Pentium 4 3.40 GHz hyper-threaded processors.

I'm experiencing this as well, along with a few other issues. I' m also running a fresh Jaunty install, and also using an HP machine with Pentium 4 and hyperthreading. I am including lspci output in case it is useful.

I'm experiencing this as well on a HP Pavilion a730n running a fresh Ubuntu v9.04 install (with all 4 classes of updates enabled). All firmware is the latest available. The messages are not very frequent, apparently occurring only when the system goes out of active cooling mode:

ACPI Error (psargs-0358): [\_TZ_.THRM] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND
ACPI Error (psparse-0524): Method parse/execution failed [\_GPE._L1C] (Node f6c14450), AE_NOT_FOUND
ACPI Exception (evgpe-0571): AE_NOT_FOUND, while evaluating GPE method [_L1C] [20080926]

Please let me know if there's anything I can do to assist in solving this problem.

System is HP Compaq dc7800p Small Form Factor, Core 2 duo.
BIOS updated from 1.04 to 1.28 - no difference.
This occurs in Jaunty with kernel 2.6.28.x
Have also tried 2.6.30.10 from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
Errors (from kernel 2.6.30-10):

A similar error is posted at bugzilla.kernel.org #8360
I have attached the report from acpidump

[Jeremy Foshee (jeremyfoshee)]

Hi nopycckn,

Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ . If the issue remains, please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 376367

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Problem persists with kernel 2.6.39.0

probably because of this problem I cannot shutdown/reboot with acpi but have to push the power button for several seconds after shutdown to switch the device off.
