manmath sahu Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 (edited) I have mandriva 2008 installed on my laptop - compaq presario c702tu. It has 1.73 Ghz Celeron M cpu and 512 RAM. It takes 1 minute to boot. (duration from pressing the power start button to the complete KDE desktop). Is it the normal boot time or is my laptop/mandriva slow? Also at startup and shutdown I see the following line. ACPI Exception (processor_core-0781): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device is not present [20070126] Is it a fatal message? If so, what can I do to get over it? Please suggest me. Thanks in advance. Edited January 28, 2008 by manmath sahu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 One minute sounds perfectly fine to me. My install takes one minute on a Core 2 Duo 2GHz, with 4GB RAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what about that - ACPI Exception (processor_core-0781): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device is not present [20070126] Is it a fatal message? I wonder how to stop this message.

ianw1974 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Is the error causing you any problems? If not, ignore it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Googling seems to suggest a problem with cpufreq. I suppose you could disable the cpufreq services, and then see if you still get the same error message. I'm unsure, but I don't think cpufreq or cpu frequency scaling will work on your Celeron M processor anyhow. But, if you have cpufreq enabled, disable it, and then see if you get the error on reboot. If not, have a read through some of these to see if you have any symptoms: 1. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=608361&page=2 2. http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ACPI+Exce...art=10&sa=N the last is the google search I did to find out more about your error message. I'm sure you might find an answer here if what I've suggested doesn't help. Otherwise, if no symptoms or problems - just ignore it as previously mentioned.

ianw1974 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 If you've no other side-effects, and your system is running perfectly fine other than this error in the logs, I wouldn't worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
