I went through the process of cleaning up my DSDT with iasl and fixed it for my Acer C100, it went from 47 errors/0 warnings to 0 errors/0 warnings, but even compiling this into my kernel did not enable ACPI on my machine. I hacked the kernel (drivers/acpi/tables.c) and removed the checksum test for my RSDP, now it fails with the error message "ACPI: No System Description Table (RSDT/XSDT) specified in RSDP" Which brings me to the point where I think that the reading of my RSDP completely fails (therefore the checksum test fails and no DSDT can be found somehow). Is there any ACPI guru alive who could give me a hint why getting the RSDP cannot be read and what I could check/alter to fix this? Remember: The Knoppix kernel works fine, and I am currently trying to get an exact copy of the source tree for that kernel in order to find out what's the difference... If I get my kernel up and running with ACPI I will check whether my DSDT runs fine and contribute it to your database, as there is currently no fixed DSDT available for my Acer Travelmate C100 ...
