Hello!

I recently got my new Acer Extensa 4101 WLMi notebook and tried to
install CRUX Linux - everything worked quite good, however I had to
disable I/O APIC, else my kernel wouldn't boot. I have also applied the
current ACPI patch to the kernel (2.6.11.3), however there are still
many errors regarding ACPI when I boot the system. After I decompiled
and tried to recompile the DSDT I already could see why.. ;-) I've read
all those HOWTOs on the Internet (including the good one from Gentoo
:)), but I just don't know how to fix these weird errors. :-/ Maybe
someone who knows the process of fixing a DSDT better can help me? I
also can't read the battery state from /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state.
This is what I get:

# cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state
present:		yes
ERROR: Unable to read battery status

I've tried applying the patches from the sbs-project, but they don't
apply cleanly to my DSDT:

# patch --dry-run < /root/sbs-cm-20050213/acer-tm4xxx-sbs-cm.diff
patching file dsdt.dsl
Hunk #1 succeeded at 3811 (offset 170 lines)
Hunk #2 FAILED at 3839.
Hunk #3 FAILED at 5342.

I've attached the decompiled DSDT, the error messages iasl produced,
when I tried recompiling it and the output of dmesg. I used the newest
version of the iasl. Note that ACPI says "ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT1]
(battery absent)", which is simply wrong, as the battery is correctly
installed and works.

Thank you very much!
