Or something that the MS interpreter allows and the stringent Intel one does not. This might be fixable ... its overrunning a region definition which could be a simple bug that could be fixed by extracting the DSDT, convert to ASL, fix, recompile, and override. Of course you have to know ASL :) > It is a MSI-6210 w/o SCSI onboard but MP.

The magic L word might wake them up. If you want to be extra neat, use acpidump to extract the dsdt and in bundle that with your dmesg into a tarball I can download. -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite@gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.org
