Hello,

I have a Supermicro X7DBE system. When it boots, the kernel dmesg output gives me:

ACPI: DSDT cff60068 0445A (v01 Intel BLAKFORD 06040000 MSFT 03000001)
ACPI: FACS cff65fc0 00040
ACPI: APIC cff64536 000C8 (v01 PTLTD ? APIC 06040000 LTP 00000000)
ACPI: MCFG cff645fe 0003C (v01 PTLTD MCFG 06040000 LTP 00000000)

The '? APIC' line confuses me and I don't know what this means nor do I
see anywhere it is documented what it means. The machine does work, but I have an odd problem with virtualbox and it's own apic handling when running on this machine and I am trying to run down wether the above is an actual problem on the host, or if it's a red herring. Does anyone have an idea what this could actually mean?

Mike-

As far as I can see, the ? would be part of the ACPI OEM table ID field in the BIOS ACPI table. I doubt it's related to anything.
