I have a PC with Duel boot for Windows 11 / Zorin 17 Pro by grub bootloader .
I have been having the following notifications coming up and am unsure how I'm meant to a) diagnose and b) fix them. Advice and guidance on this welcome.
Unfortunately I am not on that device at the moment (am at work) but will update with exact Kernel versions when I'm back. Also I have seen posts regarding nVidia, which is the G-card I have but unclear if it's setup on the Zorin side of the device.
Sorry now I actually read it I see it's a ACPI BIOS error.... so I reframe my question slightly; how to updat the BIOS from within Zorin? (and would this effect windows boot?)
I would suggest to update the BIOS in the BIOS. go to the Manufacturer's Website and download the BIOS File and then install it like describted by the Instructions of the Manufacturer.
If everything is working, then no. You do not have to and you can suppress the warnings if you want.
ACPI tables are expected by the Linux Kernel which is strict. For good reason.
Manufacturers, however, are often less strict and will copy and paste incomplete or malformed values into tables, grabbing those values from other builds or even other brands - to save time and use as a template without filling them in.
This results in that machine not having the value expected by the kernel.
It then fallsback to known good values - which is why you usually do not see any ill effects. It also, probably, is why manufacturers do not feel pressure to actually input all the correct values - someone will cover for them.
