freebsd stable - Mar 2005 - -PRErelease and ACPI: no PRT entry for 0.1.INTA

Dear Hackers,

on one remote machine I see the following error (RELENG_5 from this night):

pcib0: no PRT entry for 0.1.INTA

I have only ssh access and putting "-v" in /boot.config didn't
help me getting
a verbose dmesg.
Anyway, I think it's caused by a bogus BIOS but I wanted to make sure having
it reported.
Last version was RELENG_5 from Nov. 5th and I also had a ACPI error but more 
detailed. Unfortunately I lost the output....

Thanks,

-Harry

There's actually an underscore there; the symbol name is _PRT.

The message is generally harmless; its just the ACPI code looking for some
objects to assist with PCI interrupt routing. If your machine boots and
doesn't have problems with interrupt storms then I wouldn't stress it.
If it does, then try booting without ACPI.

You need to pass -v on the loader command line since boot2 (which reads
its options from /boot.config) just hands off to loader.  You can also set
boot_verbose="YES" in /boot/loader.conf if you aren't on console
and don't
have serial console set up.
