 AFAIK both (at least first on several Core Duo models) phenomenons seem
 to happen on several (all?) new HP models.
 

My first though is to try atpic instead of apic and maybe tweak
apci_sci= parameter?  I'll look more in details the bug.

Also I'm wondering why there is a \_PR.CPU0.INI() method.  I'm wondering
if it should be a _INI instead.  But it seems it's a workaround for some
others OSs and I'm not sure if we have to call the SMM implied by that
_INI in order to fix that since Linux should have done something similar
already?

Strange.

 Strange.

The _INI funcs are declared in SSDT(s) just invoking INI().
The SMM stuff in _INI seems to be called if _OSI function only returns
true for Windows 2001 (don't have the table here right now, but it
was for a specific _OSI string setting C014 to 0x4 which is checked
there). It didn't help, it even made things worse, slowing the whole
system down extremly.

It's as if the asl writter wanted to clear the upper bits of Local1, but forgot

It's only a rough guess though, and wihtout knowing what was the

This is the context around there. I can send the whole asl if you'd like
also:

Store (C15B, Local1)
If (Local1)
{
If (And (C165, 0x40))
{
Add (Not (Local1), 0x01, Local1)
And (Local1, 0x)
}
}

Store (Local1, Index (DerefOf (Index (Local0, 
0x02)), 0x0E))

Of particular interest that I'd like to get going also is the built in
accelerometer, which I only discovered browsing the ASL:

Device (ACEL)
{
Name (_HID, EisaId (HPQ0004))

HP Mobile Data Protection Sensorbut that's for another project. :)

Thanks.

I checked on a very similar DSDT table:
This line seems only to be used for the WMAA method:
Method (WMAA, 3, NotSerialized)
{
Return (C23E (Arg1, Arg2))
}
C23E-C24B-C1AB(in this function is the line), the functions are only
used once in DSDT.
I expect this method is part of the Windows Management Instrumentation
(WMI - [1]).
The functions might have other names in your dsl output file.
As the WMAA function shouldn't get used on a current linux system it
should be harmless in the end.

(unfortunately, I hoped that was the missing hint to fix some things on
this system).

Sorry Ben, I can't help you with the HPQ0004 device, I don't know
anything about this one and don't have such a machine myself.

Thanks again,

 Thomas
