On boot, I get the following ACPI errors:

 

Oct 15 09:09:08 Beanstalk kernel: bio: create slab  at 0

Oct 15 09:09:08 Beanstalk kernel: ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (0000:00)

 

These two errors were present from the beginning with build.  I am using the SuperMicro X7SBE with Bios 1.2a dated 12/29/2008.

 

01. What do these means?

02. Is there something I can do to resolve them?

03. Are other X7SBE users getting these errors?  If not, what BIOS version are you running?

04. Where is the date time coming from during boot?  It is about 6 hours behind.

 

Thanks.

I can only answer #4.  The date and time are set on the 'settings' page of your server's web interface.  You can either set them manually, or you can use NTP and choose your correct time zone.
