Event Viewer: ACPI error....need help please
I have a clean Vista Home Pro install on a new Biostar TForce 6100-939 mobo.
I cannot get ACPI and hibernate/sleep to work as far as waking the system up using either keyboard or mouse...but that's another problem. Ever since I installed Vista last week I daily get at least 5 ACPI error events and I could use some help in diagnosing the error. Maybe this might even be related as to why I cannot wake my system from hibernate. Here is the text of the error (which MS has no further info on): "IRQARB: ACPI BIOS does not contain an IRQ for the device in PCI slot 4, function 0. Please contact your system vendor for technical assistance." My bios is an AWARD bios. The *only* PCI card I have in my system is a Linksys Etherfast 10/100 LAN card (LNE100TX V5.1) which I plug my cable modem into to dish out my wireless signal to my other home desktops. Any help is appreciated on understanding what this error is telling me and how I might successfully address it. *Also, if you think I should post this in a more appropriate newsgroup please let me know Thanks!

remember where, but it's safely ignore. "Walter Cohen" wrote in message ... I have a clean Vista Home Pro install on a new Biostar TForce 6100-939 mobo.

Note: my comment about the *only* PCI card is incorrect. I also have a
PCI-Express Nvidia GeForce 7600GS graphics card. Walter "Walter Cohen" wrote in message ... I have a clean Vista Home Pro install on a new Biostar TForce 6100-939 mobo.

I would check with Biostar for a BIOS update as that is the most likely cause for sleep/suspend problems. Take care, Dave |

Walter,
I am not familiar with that particular motherboard and the BIOS settings required for your setup. But you will find settings you can make that assign IRQ's either manually or Automatically in the BIOS. If you ever made any changes to these then you would know where to look - otherwise get out the mb manual. Also may want to make sure you have the most recent BIOS updates and try those. Be sure to follow the manf recommended procedures for updating the BIOS. Unless you have a specific need or the mb manf say's you need a setting other than the defaults, I would set the default settings for the PCI slots - or even just set all defaults for the MB. Without doing a lot of research on this mb, I'm afraid I can't offer much more help. Bob S. "Walter Cohen" wrote in message ... Note: my comment about the *only* PCI card is incorrect.

Walter I've been trying to find out the same info as I get them on my system also. I would bet a good number of computers react the same way...if people were to look at their event viewer. Here's a quote from the MS Knowledge base: "CAUSE This error message may occur on a computer that uses a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bridge that supports message-signaled interrupts but does not support line-based interrupts RESOLUTION This error message may safely be ignored. Note Do not ignore this error message if the following conditions are true: . A yellow explanation mark (!) appears next to the device in Device Manager. . You receive the following error message in the Properties dialog box for the device in Device Manager: This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12) In this scenario, a different issue may be causing the symptoms. Take additional steps to troubleshoot this issue" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930062/en-us Took me several days of hunting to find this. Bob |

This issue doesn't seem to affect x64 version since I only got that error
message if I used Vista x32. "Bob" wrote in message ... "canixs" wrote in message ... This ACPI error is a known issue to MS and had article about, I don't remember where, but it's safely ignore.

I have no yellow exclamation points with anything in a PCI slot.
Interestingly, when I went to device manager and viewed the driver details for my Linksys Etherfast 10/100 LAN card (LNE100TX V5.1) it says it is in PCI bus 4 (I assume this is the same as PCI Slot 4). So it would appear that this PCI card is causing the error for some reason. Walter "David Moisan" wrote in message news "Walter Cohen" wrote in message ...

You can temporarily remove the Linksys card just to see what effect it
has on the error message and the abillity to resume from sleep. George On Mar 3, 12:41 pm, "Walter Cohen" wrote: I have no yellow exclamation points with anything in a PCI slot.
