I get two different errors today, depending on the arch:

1) x86 (gcc-4.3.4):

Which Linux kernel version do you have installed?

Aha!  Good hint, thanks :)  Maybe this is the problem?:

commit 1b061d9247f71cd15edc4c4c4600191a903642c0

    rename the generic fsync implementations

    We don't name our generic fsync implementations very well currently.
    The no-op implementation for in-memory filesystems currently is called
    simple_sync_file which doesn't make too much sense to start with,
    the the generic one for simple filesystems is called simple_fsync
    which can lead to some confusion.

    This patch renames the generic file fsync method to generic_file_fsync
    to match the other generic_file_* routines it is supposed to be used
    with, and the no-op implementation to noop_fsync to make it obvious
    what to expect.  In addition add some documentation for both methods.

2) amd_64 (gcc-4.4.3):

vbox/src/VBox/Devices/PC/vbox.dsl   998:        0xdfdfffff,    // Range
Length Error 4118 - Length is not equal to fixed Min/Max window

Which distribution is that?

Gentoo.  Are there others?  ;)

And which version of iasl are you using?

Bernhard's patch fixed the second problem, but here's the info:

"broken":
ASL Optimizing Compiler version 20100428 [May  5 2010]
Supports ACPI Specification Revision 4.0a

"works for me":
ASL Optimizing Compiler version 20090123 [Apr 17 2010]
Supports ACPI Specification Revision 3.0a

Thanks!
