Re: Asus K8V Delux broken acpi tables?

I got iasl -d to disassemble /proc/acpi/dsdt, and your patch cleanly 
applied to that.  When I try to recompile the patched file, I get these 
errors though:

dsdt.dsl    54:             Store (0xAA, DBG8)
Error    1061 -       Object does not exist ^  (DBG8)

dsdt.dsl    58:             Store (0xAC, DBG8)

dsdt.dsl    82:         Else

dsdt.dsl    84:             If (MCTH (\_OS, "Microsoft WindowsME: 
Millennium Edition"))

PARSEOP_NAMESEG, expecting ')'
dsdt.dsl    88:         }
Error    1094 -         ^ syntax error, unexpected '}', expecting $end

Any ideas?
