Thank you, I've now written a partial analysis which is available at 
https://github.com/Lekensteyn/acpi-
stuff/blob/HEAD/dsl/Asus_Zenbook_DanielVetter/analysis.txt (note: URL is cut in 
two parts in this mail, concat them as needed).

Question: can you try disabling the asus-laptop module and try booting again 
w/ and w/o the CADL patch applied?
- Does it boot in both cases?
- Do the brightness hotkeys work?
- Can you change brightness via /sys/class/backlight?

Can you SSH in it and check the logs? Any ACPI warnings/errors or messages 
from the asus-laptop module? (or whatever asus module(s) is/are loaded)

Can you also generate dmidecode.txt? (peek in http://lekensteyn.nl/files/get-
acpi-info.sh, you do not have to run all of the commands since I already have 
your acpidump)

Thanks,
Peter
