I can confirm this issue still exists with kernel-2.6.15-1.1830_FC4.

A workaround is to edit the DSDT to change the symbol Z00I to Z001, and compile
the resulting change into the kernel.

Which begs a couple of questions:

The Intel ACPI compiler complains about the symbol being undefined, but there
are other similar symbols e.g. Z001 through to Z00H scattered throughout the
disassembled DSDT -- why are they ok while Z00I is not?

If it turns out that the DSDT is indeed buggy, then how can we help the user fix
the problem, as the manufacturer is unlikely to change anything?  We could use
the initrd patch to allow updated DSDT to be appended without having to
recompile the kernel, or we could add special cases to the kernel, listing known
bad DSDTs to be patched.
