Sorry that I did not make that clear, but I am already running with current git (v2.6.27-rc7-94-gc0f4d6d). > It seems that the problem is fixed by the following commit: > commit 48feb3c419508487becfb9ea3afcc54c3eac6d80 The kernel errors listed in that commit log are rather different from what I'm seeing. Also, how could a commit in the kernel fix a broken ACPI table? No change in the kernel can repair syntax errors that show up when you disassemble and recompile the ACPI table itself, can it? I thought using iasl as I did was the accepted way to uncover errors in a system's ACPI tables. I really think the problem is in the ACPI table in this case, not in the kernel. Cheers, FJP
