    F25: "Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PMI0._PMM]"

    Hello,

    I have a "ProLiant MicroServer Gen8" running Fedora Server 25 and Amahi 9.

    Yesterday I ran #yum update" and Fedora updated almost 150 packages incl. the Kernel from version vmlinuz-4.8.6-300.fc25.x86_64 to version vmlinuz-4.9.4-201.fc25.x86_64.

    After rebooting the system, the console and the /var/log/messages gets flooded with ACPI PMM issues:

    Looks like some issues within BIOS / Linux power management compatibility in latest kernel.

    Any ideas how I can get that fixed or at least a workaround?


    Cheers!

    Re: F25: "Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PMI0._PMM]"

    That "yum" command will have been converted into a "dnf" command in f25. If there was no effect on the functioning of the machine, I'd ignore the messages, but if there is a problem I'd boot from an earlier kernel until the next kernel is released.

    Re: F25: "Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PMI0._PMM]"

    Hi,

    I skipped Fedora for quite a while :-) I didn't knew they changed their update management.
    However I used now "dnf update --refresh" and it updated to Kernel 4.9.5-200.fc25.x86_64.

    The issue is unchanged:

    I booted also from kernel 4.8.6-300.fc25.x86_64 and the issue showed up there as well, but just a few min later. With the newer kernels it happens right after booting.

    I have similar issue but error message different & shorter (less lines).

    No effect on functionality.
