I observed similar behaviour on my ThinkPad as well.  "0x5305" just
happens to be the same value as the command theoretically given to the
BIOS at that time (probably; i've not checked that code path, but I
know the error matched the command at the other times i've seen this
message), and the error value is returned in the same register as the
command.  Something is going wrong somewhere, but I don't know where.
