DSDT Problems with Acer Aspire 1691WLMi

DSDT Problems with Acer Aspire 1691WLMi

[Daniel Solsona]

Hi all, I just buyed an acer aspire 1691WLMi and I'm having some
problems with the acpi.

I donwloaded the custom dsdt table from acpi.sourceforge.net and the
iasl compiler version 20050513 [Jun  1 2005]

I'm having problems compiling the dsdt, those are the errors I get:

Unknown resource descriptor type [ERRORNODE]
dsdt.dsl   950:                     0x0100, 0x00,,)
Error    1094 -                                   ^ Missing
ResourceSource string (required)
........

dsdt.dsl  1063:                     , AddressRangeMemory, TypeStatic)
Error    1094 -            Missing ResourceSource string (required) ^ 

dsdt.dsl  1070:                     , AddressRangeMemory, TypeStatic,
ResourceSource)
Error    1037 -         syntax error, unexpected ',', expecting ')' ^ 

ASL Input:  dsdt.dsl - 6918 lines, 243620 bytes, 3165 keywords
Compilation complete. 18 Errors, 0 Warnings, 0 Remarks, 1116
Optimizations

I have two diferent errors, the first one and the 17 others are the
same.

After reading James Sparenberg problem, and the fix that Bruno Ducrot
told him, I tried to eliminate all the  ResourceSourceIndex but on my
dsdt there is no ResourceSourceIndex.

I have too some errors on syslog:

Jun  2 12:59:25 localhost kernel:     ACPI-0352: *** Error: Looking up

Thanks for the help

---------------->8----------------
I get the same behaviour with the DSDT for an Acer Aspire 1694  WLMi

Does the version 20050513 of iasl produce cleaner  ASM than 20050309?

Best regards,
Didier

This problem has been discussed some days ago on this list
(Subject - Re: [ACPI] question of appropriateness):

I forward the suggestions from Bruno Ducrot:

_________________________________________________________________________
> But I'm wondering what iasl are you using?  It seems totally broken
> to me.

Actually I am wrong here.  Later iasl (20050513) is now more
restrictive.  When the ResourceSourceIndex exist, then ResourceSource
must exist.

2 solutions if you want to compile:
1- patch iasl in order to restore old behaviour (but this is out of
spec somehow)
or
2- eliminate all the ResourceSourceIndex when there is no ResourceSource.

For point 2, here is an incremental patch to your asl:

___________________________________________________________________________

As you have so many error hits, maybe you should get a bit older iasl compiler.

If this is a common problem on many machines maybe the compiler should be a bit less restricted
at this point?

RE: DSDT Problems with Acer Aspire 1691WLMi

[Moore, Robert]

This is a case where we tightened up the compiler to conform more
closely to the ACPI specification, and a few machines (apparently) have
code that goes against the spec.

I'd like to see these DSDTs just to make sure, however.

Should we send them (the non compiling versions) directly to you or via
the list?

Re: DSDT Problems with Acer Aspire 1691WLMi

[Daniel Solsona]

Ok, I got a version of iasl taht compiled with no errors the custom dsdt
that I got from acpi.sourceforge

I put it on initrd as I read somewhere and restarted computer after
changing grub menu to get the new initrd.

But there is no change, I have the same problems as before. There is any
way I can confirm that the new dsdt is loaded correctly? maybe getting
dsdt from /proc/acpi/dsdt, decompiling and seeing if its the same as the
custom dsdt?

You must have ACPI_INITRD=y in your /usr/src/linux/.config ( or
/proc/config.gz if you have enable CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC=y)

I put my DSDT.aml in my initrd.img that way:
----------------8<----------------
DSDT=/boot/DSDT.aml

cp initrd.img-2.6.11 initrd.img-2.6.11-ACPI
echo -n "INITRDDSDT123DSDT123" >> initrd.img-2.6.11-ACPI
cat $DSDT >> initrd.img-2.6.11-ACPI
echo -n "INITRDDSDT321DSDT321" >> initrd.img-2.6.11-ACPI
---------------->8----------------

In a verbose dmsg, you get something like:
----------------8<----------------
ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initrd... found (at offset 4788244)!
 found customized DSDT with 27352 bytes!
---------------->8----------------

CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG has to be enable to have this message.

Else I know that it's my DSDT when I can see the battery state.

Be aware that this won't work with a plain vanilla kernel.
You'll need the DSDT in initrd patches from:
http://gaugusch.at/kernel.shtml

Your distribution may already contain this patch.
Which distribution are you using that already contains the patch?

Thanks,

Will check it too.

Yes, I'm using kubuntu hoary, and I read that it has the patches on the
kernel already.

Thanks all for the help, gonna check that when I have some time.

Re: DSDT Problems with Acer Aspire 1691WLMi

[Daniel Solsona Moratiel]

Ok, tried all what you guys told me and now I can see battery status on
laptop. Thats working well.

But now, and before was the same, the fan does not work when I boot with
acpi.
I have nothing inside /proc/acpi/fan and no errors on syslog.

Where can I start to look to solve that?

Thanks.
