Description Brandon Leroux 2017-10-28 14:17:07 CEST

Description of problem:

The following message appears when my computer is booting. It seems it's a current graphic card error on red hat system.
(Using dmesg to got it)

Add dmesg with warnings (maybe it can help):

Comment 2 Aurelien Oudelet 2020-08-05 16:40:26 CEST

ACPI errors often result from firmware (BIOS) bug. Kernel tries to avoid these.


This message is a reminder that Mageia 6 is end of life.

Mageia stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 6. At that time this bug will be closed as OLD (EOL).

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to 
fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later 
Mageia version prior to Mageia 6's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we cannot 
be able to fix it before Mageia 6 was end of life.
If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, 
sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia 
release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
