Hello Olaf,

thanks a lot for the offer. Of course I'm interested.

At the moment I have a working 2.6.11.11 kernel with the SBS driver from
Rich Townsend and suspend2. But I'd like to use a more recent kernel. So
I have to get the DSDT working.

I've tried to compile newer versions of iasl on my system (Debian
stable), but it always ended with some errors so far. So I got me a
prebuild version 20040715 from the web, I found somewhere.

I had the reboot problem myself with the fixed version of my original
DSDT (without sbs patch). It has something to do with the thermal
management.
I got a lot of messages about increasing temperature in the logs and the
system has shut itself down more or less immedeatly.
The system had to cool down a bit, before I tried to test a new kernel.
After this, the system was stable after reboot.

I've tested my patched DSDT, although I got the error messages from the
compiler (Just curiosity ...). With the sbs patch, the battery readout
was working for some time. But after about 30 minutes the battery state
wasn't available anymore.


Best regards,

Berthold
