ACPI errors on Linux distribution ISO boot up

ACPI errors on Linux distribution ISO boot up

[EpicLemon99]

I have problems trying to use Linux distributions on my new machine, a HP Pavilion TG01-2856no. The CPU it has was released Q1 2021.

My problem is that whenever I boot a Linux distribution ISO, it appears that my CPU stalls on tasks, and I get this error:
 ACPI Error: Needed [Integer/String/Buffer] found [Device] 00000000d0fa616a (20200925/exresop-388)
 ACPI Error: AE_AML_OPERAND_TYPE, While resolving operands for [OpcodeName unavailable] (20200925/dswexec-431)

The most recent kernel version this has happened on is 5.13.13, with Arch Linux.

I could get journalctl logs from NixOS: https://ibb.co/album/9wMM0p

The fact that I have the same problem on multiple distributions has led me to believe that it's something to do with the kernel or ACPI, but I could be wrong.

I have set Secure Boot off in my BIOS settings and the SATA emulation is set to AHCI. I have tried with RAID.

I have tried the following boot options: nomodeset, noacpi, noapic, acpi=off.

The only distributions that I have managed to get working are Devuan and Gentoo.

This means that the AML byte code interpreter in the kernel has
problems with the contents of the ACPI tables on the system.

This should be recent enough.

And what happened with acpi=off?

Well, that doesn't help much as long as you don't know what additional
kernel patches they carry.
