AMD64 - kernel freezes when inserting processor/powernow-k8 module

[Thomas Renninger <mail-smMupaH/RwJM7kwft8N7nw@public.gmane.org>]

Hi,

the machine (AMD64 - 3200+) seems to have a terrible written DSDT.
After disassembling I could fix several small errors to get it compiled 
again.

Kernel 2.6.5-16 with latest ACPI patches ...

loading the powernow-k8 module freezes the machine immediately 
(POWERNOW-K8_ACPI compiled in and not compiled in)

loading the processor module freezes the machine also at once.
(could not get any info, even with acpi_debug function trace on, syslog 
buffering disabled).

Other ACPI related modules load and work fine (ac, battery, fan, of 
course not thermal as it depends on the processor mod).

You find the disassembled DSDT in: 
http://stio1.fh-wuerzburg.de/student/i31990/arima_hw_info/arima_dsdt.dsl

My modified (so that it compiles) DSDT is:
http://stio1.fh-wuerzburg.de/student/i31990/arima_hw_info/arima_dsdt_modif.dsl

and the acpidmp in:
http://stio1.fh-wuerzburg.de/student/i31990/arima_hw_info/acpidmp_arima_AMD64

If someone has a similar machine (AMD64 3200+), I would appreciate if 
you can send me your DSDT to compare it with mine.

Q: How can I access the Debug object/address used in ASL?

My experiences interpreting ASL code are limited..., please help...

Thanks.

      Thomas
