[solved] ACPI error, how to fix?

Anon-E-moose · Posted: Sat Nov 06, 2021 3:49 pm Post subject:

Probably an option for the video card that shouldn't be turned on for your hardware (kernel config). In other words some hardware it doesn't recognize.

If you just want to shut up the messages add "pcie=noaer" to the kernel cmd line.

Edit to add:
From dmesg => radeon 0000:00:01.0: [drm] fb0: radeondrmfb frame buffer device

it was the last message before acpi error, so probably related.

You should be using amdgpu not radeon

Because the radeon driver is basically for the older ati/amd cards. At least that's my understanding.

Your card is a gcn1.* so should work under amdgpu,

Tony0945,

You should use amdgpu with

Set kernel config to ANON-E_MOOSE settings.
Haven't checked either experimental option for lack of knowledge.
Hoping neither is neccessary or that dmesg will give me a clue to which to use.

Picked the APU for power-saving but really wish I just had a cheap NOuveau card like on my newest system. So much simpler than these radeon thingys.

Clean dmesg! http://dpaste.com/5FRCVFVV9

I'm marking this solved. Tomorrow I will check that i actually have a screen. But I suspect it is good.
Many thanks! Gentoo forum - users helping users!

EDIT:
And system boots 20% faster!

I use rng-tools, and I have it set for boot not default.

Tony0945,

You have a working GUI for a very low value of working. :)
That may not matter to you.

Either radeon or amdgpu will work for your GPU. amdgpu is probably better supported now.
Both of those framebuffer drivers are missing from your dmesg, so neither is loaded.

Substituted amdgpu for radeon in /etc/conf.d/modules and rebooted. Logged in remote X via this computer and it looks pretty good. Of course, that might be the nouveau rendering from this computer, right?

Tony0945,

Remote X cannot use the remote hosts GPU. It sends all the screen drawing commands over the network to the local system to render.

VNC can operate in 'screen scraper' mode if you ask it nicely but that's not its default.

I'll just have to go down and look at it myself.

Please continue addressing the ACPI/video here.

Text looks better with more contrast and sharper with amdgpu. The dune.jpg background looks the same. it looks much more colorful and sharp on this machine using Nouveau on an ancient $30 card.

But I'm glad dmesg looks clean now.

Tony0945,

Why do you think its using amdgpu?
That was not shown in your last dmesg.
