this is NOT a problem, it only means that you CAN use you own DSDT so initrd is looking for it and if not found then shows message

i try compile the new one but that failed with some error .. thats the first problem and now the second .. when i use my notebook about 45 minutes,window with brightnes (its the same window like window when i use hotkeys for adjust the brightness) and after this first run,then popup again and again on me desktop with no periodic time.Thats terrible so please help me with that .. thanks a lot for answers and sorry when i write something bad im not very good on english

BIOS (tables) in MSI new series (600 and 700) are completely broken
many bugs already in kernel.org
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9823
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9627

but it seems even core developers don't know yet what to do with this
not only brightness, aLmost everything related to ACPI
and this is NOT DISTRO dependant

some parameters to kernel help but not really:
pci=noacpi pci=noacpi pci=bios noapic nolapic
try some of them, but some switch off acpi completely so no hk at all
