massive syslog entries (GHES: Failed ...) after upgrade to oneiric

Additional details of the system components from lspci, lshw, and lsusb.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I can confirm this issue.

user@nightly:~/debug$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=11.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=oneiric
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 11.10"

To be complete:

This involves (for me) an Dell PowerEdge R210 running Ubuntu Server (32bit)

This is affecting several (possibly all) PowerEdge models, can this issue be assigned to someone to take a look?. I'd be glad to provide any further details.

Can you provide the acpidump of your machine? That can be gotten via:

acpidump > acpi.dump

Sure :)

Here is mine as well.

Do you use the 32 bit system on the machine? That can be checked via "uname -a".

I was when I opened this bug.
Moved to x64 some time after that.

Now I think of it, the acpi output was done on x64.

Mine is 32bit

Hi, Frank,

Do you still have the bug after moving to x64?

Best Regards,
Huang Ying

In reply to #12 :

Seems like I can not reproduce this on x64.
At least not on the current version.

This is still a problem on 32bit, is this patch going to be included in the next kernel update?, if so when?.

For now, I disabled GHES using "ghes.disable=1" to the kernel boot options. Though, I see a log message "ghes: Unknown parameter 'disable'", the spewing of messages are gone!.

If someone can test the patch on 32bit, I can try to push it into kernel.

ghes.disable= works on my system.

Huang, thanks for your help.
I'm having the same problem and my system is a DELL PowerEdge R210 running Oneric 32bit.

I can test the patch, but since it's a production server and I'm not an expert, I would like to have clear instructions on how to apply the patch you posted.

Thanks in advance!

Some additional information:

root@myserver:/# uname -a
Linux myserver 3.0.0-14-generic-pae #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 21 22:07:10 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Finally, this problem is fixed in quantal (Ubuntu 12.10)

Reviewing this now.
