Multiple ACPI Errors when using an Asus Z87-Pro

[Luis Alvarado]

This bug report applies to both, Ubuntu 13.10 with the Kernel 3.11.0-15 Generic Kernel and after upgrading to the Development version of the 14.04 with the 3.13.0-5 Generic Kernel.

cyrex@cyrex:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (development branch)
Release: 14.04
Codename: trusty

NOTE: Again, this also applies to 13.10.

The package that might be related to this is acpid with version 2.0.18

I was previously using the Intel DP35DP motherboard with no errors on both versions (13.10 and 14.04)
After testing the Asus Z87-PRO I started having this errors. I quickly searched for a Firmware upgrade. I applied the Z87-PRO BIOS 1707 firmware update but still the errors were there. The visible impact is:

+ Slow reading/writing to any Disks (I have an SSD and 2 HDD). All are very slow to the point of copying 1 MB takes about 2 minutes.

+ Downloading from either the integrated Wireless card or the Wired Card is very slow. My connection was normal between 500KB/Sec to 1MB/Sec. It now holds steady at around 23KB/Sec.

+Booting has no slow problems, the only issues is the visible graphic glyphs that appear before entering the Desktop (Using an Nvidia 440 card).

Here is the motherboard: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z87PRO/#specifications

I read through several bug reports similar and found that applying the processor.nocst=1 parameter to the kernel would solve this. It did not, it actually added another error:

My current dmesg looks like the file I have uploaded.

Here is the syslog

This might be the cause of the Bluetooth not working properly (Does not detect any other Bluetooth device and it is not seen by any other Bluetooth device).

[Luis Alvarado (luisalvarado)]

After changing to the 64 Bit version, the slow down problems were gone. Tested for a day and I can say that this only affects the 32 bit version when using this motherboard and with 32 GB of RAM. The bluetooth problem still remains, might be drivers missing from kernel, but other than that, the whole system is working correctly with 64 Bit only.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
