Later i had to use the ec-burst patch from Luming Yu from here: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=5574&action=view Then I have to pass ec_burst=1 as kernel parameter. Without this my machine misses keystrokes when I'm typing "fast".

I've read about some problems due to a too recent version of this package. I'm using gentoo so I'm not sure, but there seems to be a flex-old (or something like that) for debian with which you may have more luck getting iasl compiled. > > I had the reboot problem myself with the fixed version of my original > DSDT (without sbs patch).

I'm using my patched dsdt since february this year and the battery status is working without any problems on different kernel versions. The only issue i had was the missing keystroke problem. BTW. I'm using the acpi-dsdt-initrd patch for "feeding" my dsdt to the kernel.
