We can't fix your computer's BIOS or it's ACPI tables :)

Technically, what this means is that there is a bug in your hardware. Generally the way to fix this is update your BIOS with the latest available from your motherboard or system vendor, or search for a DSDT to override the actual ACPI tables with a fixed version.

Changed in linux-meta:
status: Unconfirmed → Rejected
