------- Comment #7 from [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2008-03-26 03:44 -------
after following these instructions to look at the disassembled DSDT.dat  

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Fix_Common_ACPI_Problems#Diagnosing_a_Buggy_DSDT

I took a peek at Method (_OSC, 4, NotSerialized) 

and on line 3326 of the disassembled DSDT, it indeed says EIDO, not EI*0
the line reads  CreateDWordField (UID0, 0x00, EID0)

it does not say EI*0 in the decompiled DSDT.

Is this a possible indication of a runtime error if the EID0 is becoming EI*0
in the generated table?

I do not have much experience with ACPI, but it seems odd to me that the
deconstructed DSDT would not have the incorrect EI*0, which apparently is the
problem, but the table trying to be loaded by the kernel does.

If i am understanding that method correctly it is somehow checking which lines
to add to the SSDT2 table some sort if then type structure.  But if isal
generated code says EID0, why does the kernel see EI*0

sorry if this is completely off base, but I really find it odd that the method
doesn't match the apparent output error.  

I am attaching the decompiled DSDT.dat incase that helps.

It was made with the iasl -d dsdt.aml > dsdt.asl command.

I also tried to used acpidump to get the DSDT, but it gives me errors and I
cannot get a DSDT this way.
# acpidump > acpidump.out
$ acpixtract DSDT acpidump > DSDT.dat
$ iasl -d DSDT.dat

hope this means something.
