Majority of HP hardware running on Linux and even Microsoft reported an issue related to a non-standard compliant ACPI. Notable message below repeats at least three times on the boot:
The bug is a known for years from which Linux kernel team are unable to fix without the help of vendor i.e. HP. Here is a compilation of reports:
The ideal will be for HP to provide a BIOS fix for their affected hardware and officially support the Linux ecosystem much like their Printing department. Linux Vendor Firmware Service will be a good start and so far Dell is the leader in that department. American Megatrends Inc, the company developing BIOS/UEFI for HP made the process easier so it is a matter to fully enable the support.
