I put together my first unraid server the other day, and managed to stumble my way through most of it, it's really nice and having a good time of it so far, but one error still eludes me, it is this.  I have gotten most of my answers through searching these nice forums, but any searches related to ACPI comes up with tons of irrelevants.

 

Oct 21 00:06:01 Tower kernel: ACPI Error (psargs-0359): [ECEN] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND

(Entire syslog is attached as well)

Only other obvious error is related to a HPA on one of my data disks partition from its previous use in another computer, the server motherboard doesnt do that.  It's a  Biostar TA785G3, I didn't update the bios.  I'm pretty positive I setup the bios correctly, I followed it step for step in the wiki.  

 

Also, any addons besides unmenu that come in handy?

 

 

Edit: Actually attached syslog this time.

This looks similar...ACPI Error (psargs-0359)

I just changed my unraid motherboard and I noticed the following errors in the syslog

i know that people have suggested booting with ACPI off, but if i do that, will that affect unraid in any way?  Thank you

Yes, you'll not be able to put the array to S3 sleep, and perhaps not be able to have itself power itself down.  

 

You might just check if a BIOS update is available from the manufacturer, otherwise, just ignore the errors if everything is working.
