Hello,

on my HP xw8600 workstation running oi_151a7, the kernel logs ACPI errors during bootup (see attached file).
I have also observed these errors on older OI releases, as well as on Solaris11 - and on Linux.
A web search reveals that the problem is quite well-known (a least to Linux users) mainly for HP machines since the HP BIOS has certain "features" which recent acpi implementations do not like. 
These messages - as reported by Solaris/OI - look quite alarming, and suggest there might be a significant problem.

For additional information, my Redhat bug report may be useful
