ACPI Error: A valid RSDP was not found 20090521 tbxfroot-309

Wed Dec 9 00:06:21 UTC 2009

Greetings,
 I am receiving the following in dmesg (verbose) during boot in 8-RELEASE (GENERIC)
cvsuped 2009-12-08 @1am:
ACPI Error: A valid RSDP was not found 20090521 tbxfroot-309

As I create the KERNCONF for this machine, I want to confirm that this message is
caused by the fact that APM is shut off in the BIOS, and won't cause any averse
problems. We're having issues with "timeout" errors on some 50 TYAN server MB's
since 7-RELEASE regarding the disk media (no matter how many different drives we
use). So as I attempt to create a STABLE - in the sense that the servers are
reliable, I want to eliminate any potential issues.

more (informational) "noise" follows:
