DSDT on Averatec 1050

[Paul Wagner <paul_spam@gmx.at>]

Hi Folks,

tried to get Linux (Slackware 10.1 with Kernel 2.6.13) to run on my 
Averatec 1050. Unfortunately, ACPI doesn't work as supposed: No thermal 
zones, no fan, no CPU temperature, kernel error messages (see below).

I disassembled the DSDT, and recompiled it using Intels iasl, and got a 
bunch of error and warnings (see below). Unfortunately, I do not 
understand a single bit of this ASL code, and the manual doesn't really 
help me much. I figured out how to get rid of one error (the field 
thing), but I do not have the slightest idea how to handle the others.

Can anybody please help or point me to some source of help with this 
damn DSDT thing? I googled a lot last night, but weren't too successful.

Thanks a lot,

Paul
