I think the most straightforward fix is for ACPI-CA to not load SSDT tables when the user is overriding the DSDT. If you treat overridden SSDTs separately, you go down the path of having to specify _which_ table you want to override, which implies you need strict ordering of tables in both ASL and AML and it just gets too complicated. Some HP Itanium machines have 8 to 10 SSDTs. -- Nate
