Description of problem:

Multiple ACPI problems and warnings on boot, PC will suspend and resume, but on
the next reboot, it hangs and requires a hard reset, Thermal Zone and Fan
control support also appear to be missing, I had to set the BIOS to take control
of the fans, or else they run at 100% at all times.

The website for this motherboard:

http://www.foxconnchannel.com/product/Motherboards/detail_overview.aspx?ID=en-us0000327

I am using latest BIOS, which seems to allow CPU Frequency scaling to function.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Kernel 2.6.25.10-86

Running a 2.6.26-git9 kernel appears to fix (some?) of this in that ACPI: Failed
To Attach Device messages are gone and PC suspends, resumes, and reboots, still
get checksum error relating to tbautils.

Behaviour is the same with ACPI 1, 2, or 3.

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install Foxconn G33M or G33M-S motherboard.
2. Boot Fedora
3. Try a suspend, resume reboot.

Actual results:

Depdning on your kernel, either resume no worky, reboot no worky, and in all
cases, ugly kernel error messages.

Expected results:

Suspend, resume, reboot all worky, kernel gives no error messages.

Additional info:

I've attached a lot of all my kernel related messages.

I've attempted to ask Foxconn about this, and they recommended I remove all of
my RAM and see if the problem continues. (OK, not as useful as funny, but still)
