In this case, the tyan thunder K7 bios has got a hosed acpi dsdt table.
There are referecens to a field "Z00Q" in a structure, but it isn't
defined anywhere.  It is regarding the ACPI code to enable the second
serial port (pin header on motherboard).

It will go away if/when tyan fix the bios.  They broke this in a recent
"upgrade".

Cheers,
-Peter
