pnpacpi: exceeded the max number of mem/IO resources

[Andreas Schildbach]

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.24

On Ubuntu Hardy (apt-get dist-upgraded today), I get 6 times the message

pnpacpi: exceeded the max number of mem resources: 12

and several dozend times the message

pnpacpi: exceeded the max number of IO resources: 24

in the console at boot and in dmesg output.

This is on a Dell Latitude X1.

Also receiving the same with Hardy Alpha 1 Desktop amd64 (daily 20071218) on Inspiron 1420. The errors are not present in Gutsy Final.

Any questions will be answered promptly.

Hi All,

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It looks like this is being resolved upstream:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/5/301

Once the fix is committed upstream, we'll go ahead pull it into our kernel. Thanks!

Still not fixed? Any word on this lately?

Thanks.

In my opinion it is not a bug. It is a warning that did not exist in previous kernels.

*** Hardware ***
Dell Inspiron 1500

*** Platform ***
Xubuntu Hardy 8.04 (Alpha 3 Release)

I can confirm that on boot I get the message: "pnpacpi: exceeded the max number of mem resources: 12" several (7) times.

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

[Linard Verstraete (linardv)]

System version: Xubuntu 8.10 - Intrepid
Package version: 2.6.27-7

The warnings aren't displayed anymore during boot.

[Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara)]

Thanks for the update Verstraete.

Andreas, since you are the original bug reporter, care to confirm if this is resolved for you with Intrepid? Thanks.

Per a decision made by the Ubuntu Kernel Team, bugs will longer be assigned to the ubuntu-kernel-team in Launchpad as part of the bug triage process. The ubuntu-kernel-team is being unassigned from this bug report. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies for more information. Thanks.
