acer aspire 3000 after a week. ACPI report.

[James Sparenberg <james-q+VOwRQyn90NJZHkBl2fuw@public.gmane.org>]

To jump back in on my original thread (with a new title.) After a week
on the new DSDT all seemed to go well (running it as an addition to my
initrd without any problem at all)  I moved on to the next level.
Adding RAM.  This turned out to be a big mistake.  

ACPI: PCI Interrupt Routing Table [\_SB_.PCI0._PRT]
ACPI: Embedded Controller [EC0] (gpe 25)
    ACPI-0405: *** Error: Handler for [SystemMemory] returned
AE_NO_MEMORY
    ACPI-1138: *** Error: Method execution failed
[\_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.EC0_._REG] (Node c13f6e00), AE_NO_MEMORY

Is the related dmesg error.    With the new ram and DSDT ... nothing
works right that is associated with ACPI .... sound network therm fan
and bat are all messed up.  However the box does run better *grin* and
the ram is correctly detected.  (and matches the type the box requires
pc2700 200pin) 

If I drop the new DSDT table and boot .... I get a box with no battery
detection, Everything else works.  

I then tried just applying the patch I got from Bruno ... not related to
the over strict nature of the new compiler, and also applying the
compiler patch.  

This compiled and runs in exactly the same manor as the full on version.
So no change there.    In the dsdt there are 3 lines related to system
memory. But only one connected with \_SB as in the dmesg error.

Scope (\_SB)
        {
            Name (OSTB, Ones)
            OperationRegion (OSTY, SystemMemory, 0x0BEFADE4, 0x00000001)
            Field (OSTY, AnyAcc, NoLock, Preserve)
            {
                TPOS,   8
            }

So my question is should  0x0BEFADE4  be changed to 0x0BF395E4  or
should I go all the way (My max ram is 2G on this box) 0x7754D7E4  so
that in the future I don't have to adjust, or is it likely that I would
be best off adjusting it to match ram.  

The other chance... is that I'm so totally off base I'm lost *grin*
