Friends,
When I boot my computer I get an ACPI error. I have followed several tutorials on the Internet to remove this error, mainly by modifying kernel parameters, by setting acpi = off or libata.noacpi = 1, but I still get those errors. What to do?

ACPI issues can be tricky to deal with. Motherboard vendor and model details might be helpful for searches.
Some further experimentation may be necessary…

My computer is an Alienware 17 R3.
I have this configuration in the boot:

I have tried everything, but nothing works. These are the errors I’m getting:

You could try a younger kernel with a younger kernel firmware.
I am not sure that this will solve your problems, but my laptop did not even install Leap 15.0 before I deactivated acpi in the bootline of the Leap 15.0 installer. The installation succeeded and I could boot Leap 15.0, but only with acpi=off in the boot lines.
The consequence were USB-ports that weren’t recognized and the screen brightness could not be adjusted as it used to with Leap 42.3.
I installed the kernel from the repository http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/pgnd:/Kernel:/stable/openSUSE_Leap_15.0/ ,
then a 4.16 kernel, and the kernel-firmware package from that same source.
With this kernel I could delete the acpi=off addition and the laptop worked as with 42.3 again.
I have an Optimus hardware that probably caused the problems and I still have to find out how to activate the Nvidia graphics with the new kernel, but the Intel graphics is working well and the power consumption is low enough to show, that the Nvidia card is switched off, as it should when the Intel card is in use.
