I just upgraded from 4.5.3 TEST to 4.5.4, no issues.  I was holding off on installing my new larger parity drive until this fix came out.  The upgrade went perfect.  I then put my old parity drive in and added it to the array.  It cleared it, and then formatted it just fine.  All tested pefect and the system seems stable.

 

I reviewed my syslog and found only one line I didn't like after a clean bootup.

 

Tower kernel: ACPI Warning: Incorrect checksum in table [OEMB] - B9, should be B8 (20090903/tbutils-314)

 

Any idea what this is?  Also, it could have been there before the upgrade and I didn't notice it.

 

Thanks!

Many BIOSes have somewhat buggy ACPI implementations.  If you aren't experiencing any problems with your server, then ignore that syslog entry.  Chances are it was there before, you just never noticed it.

Thanks.  Just so I can be on the lookout, what kind of ACPI issues or problems might a server have?  Things seem to be running fine to me, but I wouldn't know what to look for here.  I would expect that if my server was having issues, I would most likely see more entries in the syslog than just this one.

 

Thanks again

I would echo exactly what purko said.  I have seen that "Incorrect checksum" warning in many syslogs, always seems harmless.

 

In general, ACPI problems are very obvious.  They either slap you in the face hard, or are nothing.  If you had a problem, you would know it.  No need to look for them.

Thanks!
