Hi:

On Compaq C301TU laptop, the following lines get dumped on
screen everytime there is a change in the power state 
(on->off, off->on).

system power profile changed to 'economy'
ACPI Exception: AE_NO_HARDWARE_RESPONSE, Returned by Handler for [EmbeddedControl] 20090521 evregion-531

The power profile change notification is expected,
but the ACPI Error|Exception notification is surprising as i
don't see this on an identical laptop running FreeBSD-8.

The 'dmesg extract' below show information specific to ACPI.

How do I fix the ... ACPI Exception: AE_NO_HARDWARE_RESPONSE ...
notification lines ?
