Also, are you actually having a problem with the system, or does the message just come up? And giving some details about your hardware, and the real text of the error message would help too... |
If you installed Fedora on a desktop computer, have a look at the back of the box where the power cord plugs into the box. If the fan on this "power supply" is spinning, the error means nothing as ACPI is related mostly to laptops. Fedora has been known to install laptop software and services on desktops also. If the fan is not spinning, reboot into Windows and check again, if it is spinning in Windows, then there is a problem, if it is not spinning in Windows also, chances are it will start when things get hot enough wether you are running Fedora or Windows.
Are you running Fedora on a laptop or a desktop computer? |
I got that message on an old AMD motherboard with integrated Unichrome graphics chipset. It was annoying and appeared to be informative only. It ran for years with it pumping out every couple of seconds or so. It was one I setup for my mom and booted to a graphics mode where it was hidden/less annoying. That message didn't appear in earlier kernels (2.6.18?) on that machine. And might be related to not having certain options enabled in the kernel like lm_sensors or whatever it's currently called. I'm not really sure, I don't think it happened with distro specific kernels, but I almost always run a custom kernel to aid in network and video drivers / optimizations.

You might want to run the dmesg command and check your boot up messages pertaining to acpi and startup services. Does the fan turn on?
