always 3 times: "AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device is not present"

came across this by some module testing and i`m just curious why that message is always being printed 3 times where one would be enough.

indeed a very minor issue (if any) - just wanted to let you know....

Hi!
Maybe it's because your ACPI BIOS exports entries for 4 CPUs (your mobo
can accept quad-core CPU), but only one CPU/core is really populated. One of my motherboards does exactly the same - I have a dual-core CPU in it and it shows always 2x PROCESSOR_NOT_FOUND error.
With regards, Pavel Troller

mhh - its an notebook with Pentium M 1.80GHz and i get this when booting in vmware (configured with single proc) - didnt test if this happens if i do native boot on that hardware.

got a pointer to kernel bugzilla and will take a closer look.

thanks!
