I have just installed Ubuntu 22.04 on an AMD machine running a threadRipper 3960X with a GeForce RTX 2060.

The system is dual boot and upon selecting Ubuntu on grub I get the following message:

enter image description here

Is this a reason for concern? If so, what can I do to solve it?

You can get rid of those ACPI Error messages by

  1. Open /etc/default/grub in an editor with root access. In your case I believe Ubuntu uses gedit as it's text editor:

     sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

  2. The line with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, add the loglevel=3 part. The original looks like

     GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT='quiet splash'

Change it to this:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT='quiet splash loglevel=3'

Then save the changes and close it, now open a terminal and run:

sudo update-grub

Reboot and see the results

The ACPI tables in your BIOS are incorrect, and Linux shows error messages during interpretation as it detects the problem.

The tables contain a list of devices in the system, typically those that cannot be found by another method, such as those connected to an I2C bus on the mainboard, as there is no reliable mechanism for scanning an I2C bus.

In your case, there are some duplicate entries, so the second instance is ignored. This probably happened because an older version of the BIOS shipped these entries as part of a supplemental table, and a later version included them into the main table, but the supplemental table was not removed.

These errors should be harmless and can be ignored as long as the system works fine otherwise.

From the comments...

You have a hardware problem with the i2c circuitry on the MSI TRX40 PRO WIFI motherboard (BIOS 2.7), or a hardware problem with the GeForce RTX 2060 video card.

Contact MSI Support at https://www.msi.com/support, and Nvidia support at https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/support/consumer/, for further assistance.

Or, if the computer is under warranty, contact the warranty provider.

Update #1:

Ran a Windows Memory Diagnostic and it reported a memory problem.

Update #2:

The computer went to the seller for a warranty technical evaluation.
