[Bug 440470] Re: [ubuntu-boot-experience] nForce2_smbus conflicts with ACPI region SM00

[Chase Douglas]

I've sent the patch to lower the log level to the kernel-team mailing
list. An SRU justification for Lucid follows:

IMPACT: Users with native hwmon drivers will see a warning about ACPI
resource conflicts over their boot splash screens. The log level of the
message is KERN_ERR, which is too high for a notification/warning
message.

ADDRESSED: The log level has been reduced to KERN_INFO as suggested
upstream. Upstream also suggested cleaning up the formatting of the
message, which has been included in the patch.

PATCH: See attached patch 0001-Reduce-ACPI-resource-conflict-message-to-
KERN_INFO-p.patch

TEST CASE: Boot a system with a native hwmon for the hardware (i.e. an
nForce 2 motherboard). Watch the screen for a ACPI resource conflict
message to be displayed over the boot splash.

REGRESSION POTENTIAL: The change is highly unlikely to cause a
regression because it is merely a message printout change.
