[Solved] ACPI errors during boot

[zenmaker]

During boot get these ACPI errors especially AE NOT found.

So I have 2 ssd and 2 hdd, one ssd is transcend and has windows install and 2 partitions.
The other ssd has linux mint and is crucial, uses ext4 and bios for grub.

The error seem to be related to the transcend ssd no error throws up for other disks in the journal. It feels like some grub or boot mbr issue though have tried reinstalling grub but still get the message.

is it a bad error to have.
during boot these errors show up

[rene]

is it a bad error to have.

It is a type of error you'd hope was fixed with a BIOS update at some point but otherwise, if all works then no; please see viewtopic.php?f=42&t=371358&p=2160587#p2160587

[zenmaker]

The thing was i didnt have this error before, when i was using ubuntu 21.10, hated 22.04 due to snap and stuff and was distro hopping, from debian to fedora to pop but settled on mint.

Its just annoying to see that, im sure its some issue with boot managers on how they are reading the windows disk.

Its just annoying to see that, im sure its some issue with boot managers on how they are reading the windows disk.

It's definitely not -- but Mint 20.x is on a Ubuntu 20.04 base, i.e., significantly older than 21.10 and.or 22.04, and you are explicitly using the standard 5.4 kernel series.

If you're sure that 21.10 and/or 22.04 did not show you the ACPI messages you may try upgrading to the 5.13 series: Upgrade Manager -> View -> Linux kernels; pick the newest 5.13 series kernel and reboot into it. Although it doesn't tend to happen, as a matter of the in the linked tutorial post described BIOS <-> kernel interaction a kernel-sides update may have also fixed (or more likely, simply silenced) this on your system after all.

If not you'd "need" to follow the advise given there as to replacing quiet with loglevel=3 -- which for all I know might in fact be something newer Ubuntu releases do OOTB at the moment, although I doubt it.

Hi thanks for the help, so i tested out ubuntu 21.10 impish and jammy on live usb to make sure, funnily impish is the only version it doesnt appear i think its cause of their splash logo probably has the fix you mentioned, while in jammy the errors throw up before logo shows up.

So ended up using loglevel=3 on mint and is now nice and quiet boot, and i can show off to my windows friends how superior linux is without all those errors throwing up on boot

Again thanks for the help and your time much appreciate it.

The kernel developers, in their great wisdom, decided to print lower log-level errors on the boot screen, and this has led to a heap of questions about why the acpi errors are occurring. Some other distributions have set the log level=3 out-of-the-box in order to avoid this nuisance.

Please set the topic as [solved]

As detailed last time as well, this has less to do with kernel developers than with distributions, and with users of said distributions who for some or other strange reason -- I mean that; think about it -- feel that the booting kernel should by default not produce messages: viewtopic.php?f=61&t=373212&hilit=kernel

Yes, you are right, it is a decision made by the distribution (and those with the distribution that make determinations about the kernel). Anytime errors are shown at boot, it is definitely going to cause consternation, especially among new users. As I mentioned, some distributions have specifically set the /etc/default/grub to not print that log-level of messages.

Here is the stock grub line from an arch-based distro:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet loglevel=3 nowatchdog nvme_load=YES"

Interesting that it's then even becoming standard to do that; wouldn't have assumed that. And yes, I will admit that those ACPI KERN_ERR messages are annoying; have them even on an old, bog-standard Intel C2D with integrated graphics system.
