acpi_ec_space_handler flooding logs

[Florian Schricker <fschricker-S0/GAf8tV78@public.gmane.org>]

Hello everybody!


I have quite some trouble with ACPI / DSDT and with my hddisk - and
quite frankly I'm a bit lost. :-(

Well, looong story short: I had previously a self-repaired DSDT in my
initrd which I suspect of being the cause of quite some trouble. I am
unsure if this can be possible, but I thought it'd be best to at least
fall back to the "integrated" one.

Although all ACPI modules load fine (I'm on a 2.6.12 kernel), I have
trouble with my battery - I had this before, and to be honest, I'd very
much appreciate any professional help on fixing it (I suspect _me_ being
the cause of troubles first)!

For that I extracted my DSDT, disassembled it using iasl and, for
testing purposes, I recompiled it.

Both files are accessible:
 - raw data from /proc/acpi/dsdt
     http://www.uni-koblenz.de/~eyerq/dsdt-samsung.dat
 - dissambled DSDT source
     http://www.uni-koblenz.de/~eyerq/dsdt-samsung.dsl

Recompiling gives:

This broken DSDT is currently active, fails with battery as mentioned -
and: floods dmesg / /var/log/messages with

  ACPI: acpi_ec_space_handler: bit_width should be 8

Is this something known?
What would I need to fix the DSDT? Anything I can provide?


thank you - and hopefully this the correct list
