At boot time, the acpi_power_meter driver logs the following error level message: "Ignoring unsafe software power cap". Having read about it from a few sources, it seems that the error message can be quite misleading. While the message can imply that Linux is ignoring the fact that the system is operating in potentially dangerous conditions, the truth is the driver found an ACPI_PMC object that supports software power capping. The driver simply decides not to use it, perhaps because it doesn't support the object. The best solution is probably changing the log level from error to warning. All sources I have found, regarding the error, have downplayed its significance. There is not much of a reason for it to be on error level, while causing potential confusions or misinterpretations.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
