ACPI errors - problem?
 
I originally put this in the hardware section but realized that it might be a software question, perhaps having to do wit hthe kernel?

Is this bad?

CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ stepping 00
ACPI-0311: *** Error: ns_search_and_enter: Bad character in ACPI Name: 43005350
ACPI-0292: *** Error: Looking up [0x43005350] (NON-ASCII)
in namespace, AE_BAD_CHARACTER
ACPI-0115: *** Error: acpi_load_tables: Could not load namespace: AE_BAD_CHARACTER
ACPI-0123: *** Error: acpi_load_tables: Could not load tables: AE_BAD_CHARACTER
ACPI: Unable to load the System Description Tables

boots and runs normally but I noticed this in the dmesg log.

Is it going to hurt performance? what does it mean?

in my opinion this sounds as you do not have the right DSDT table. do you have a laptop and when yes which one? you could get the right DSDT table for your laptop on a specific link, which I actually forgot, you should google for that

This is a dedicated server hosting box.

It is some sort of rack, most likely.

Wish I knew what DSDT meant. Is it going to hurt me if it doesn't get fixed?

I had that sort of error all the time before.
I think acpi is what monitors the power supply of a laptop and turn the laptop to standby or whatever when the batteries are too low... As I didn't have a laptop I reinstalled with a "noacpi" option. That did the trick.
