Unfortunately, the 4th posting does NOT contain the solution to this issue. The original question was regarding a DL380 G5. I am having the same issue. This appears to be universal with newer Linux releases. If anyone has a fix, I'd love to hear it.

Both the Customer Advisory listed in the 4th post and the Red Hat bugzilla that is referenced from within the advisory list the resolution

Either ignore the message as it has no impact on the server or OS performance or turn off the performance counters in the BIOS.

I am having the same problem after firmware update.

The message does not prevent the server from booting, but the local console connection goes "black" when the Linux part of the boot sequence starts. It still boots and can be managed through ILO, but the local console remains unusable.

Not sure what is casuing your issue, but it is not 'BIOS HAS CORRUPT [hw] PMU RESOURCES....'  This error is Linux wanting to use a performance counter that the ProLiant BIOS is already using.

What model server are you working with and what ROM firmware did you install?  Try adding 'nomodeset' to your boot options

Did you google

"Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting"?

There are some possible solutions.

[Haman_Oleh]

[Haman_Oleh]

Thank you, after doing /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist: blacklist pcspkr that the error is gone
