Hey krunk. This is mmcc999 from the Dell Support forums. I am also on Gentoo forums under theonlymcc. I have done all the things you have done. It seems that "fixing" errors will not suffice in this case. It seems that the DSDT is just poorly written logically, and the fact that Dell uses Microsoft's ASL/ASM compiler versus Intel's, which more strictly adhears to the ACPI standard. I think part of the "problem" (not really a problem) is that 2.6 kernel expects a strict ACPI/DSDT as well. But I am with you, anyone who can help with this, please do. All of us 5150 Linux 2.6 users would appreciate it.
