Ubuntu 22.04 ACPI BIOS ERROR (BUG)

I have just installed Ubuntu 22.04 on an AMD machine running a threadRipper 3960X with a GeForce RTX 2060.

The system is dual boot and upon selecting Ubuntu on grub I get the following message:

enter image description here

Is this a reason for concern? If so, what can I do to solve it?

Check your BIOS version with sudo dmidecode -s bios-version, and then go to the manufacturer’s web site and check for a newer BIOS. –

Hi, thanks for the input. I updated my bios from version 2.6 to 2.7 but still get pretty much the same error. i.ibb.co/j3t48Xk/Screenshot-2022-05-30-160505.png –

Is this a desktop computer? What brand motherboard? Which Nvidia, and what version driver? –

Besides the Nvidia, do you have any other cards installed? –

You can get rid of those ACPI Error messages by

Open /etc/default/grub in an editor with root access. In your case I believe Ubuntu uses gedit as it’s text editor:

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
The line with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, add the loglevel=3 part. The original looks like

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=’quiet splash’
Change it to this:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=’quiet splash loglevel=3′
Then save the changes and close it, now open a terminal and run:

sudo update-grub

Reboot and see the results

This actually worked! Woo hoo, confirmed on 2 different machines. These messages started with a kernel update and have been bugging me. You, human being of exceptional merit, are getting a bounty when the system allows. –
