I suspect your iasl is broken somehow: a ResourceSource string is optional.

This node is likely defined under another ACPI table called SSDT.
Please get ACPI spec from www.acpi.info but only if you are curious
about SSDT and the like..

I will check this but I need a full ACPI dump.

Could you please send a web link or, if you can not, send to me
privately the output from acpidmp after doing something like that:

wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org//pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/utils/pmtools-20031210.tar.bz2
tar xjvfp pmtools-20031210.tar.bz2
cd pmtools-20031210/acpidmp
make
sudo ./acpidmp > acpidmp.out
bzip2 acpidmp.out 

I will also check if I'm correct with point 1.

Cheers,
