Re: OperationRegion outside scope

[Paulo da Silva <pvmagacho78-/E1597aS9LQAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

Hi,

  these solutions solves the errors for the
compilation. However, when using the iasl you will see
in the compiled file that the operation regions that
are outside any scope will have zero length. And this
causes different errors.
  I put two files on the web.
  1) http://cern.ch/paulo/before.log
     this is the message log that is produced by using
the default dsdt that comes with my bios.
  2) http://cern.ch/paulo/after.log
     this is the message log that is produce after I
introduce the changes needed for compiling the code.

  In the first one the errors come from the operation
regions that prevented me from compiling the code,
while the second file shows errors coming because the
iasl compiler puts size equal to zero for operation
regions that are outside a scope.

   I don't know if all operation regions should be put
inside a scope or this is a problem with the iasl
compiler.

Thank you,
Paulo da Silva
