Well, maybe. Under linux with the broken table, the system mostly sorta
worked. One thing that didn't was the on-mobo ethernet. the
reverse-engineered forcedeth would load, but not work. On Windows,
NVidia's proprietary driver may have a different way to figure out
whatever the DSDT would provide, and so not need the DSDT data.

Yes, no problems detected under WinXP Pro. Somehow Windows is
forgiving
of these issues.

To recap:
The DSDT in my BIOS was very broken, such that ACPI didn't load up
properly. This meant I was having trouble reading the data
from my BIOS
using /proc/acpi/dsdt.
Does windows works with such broken BIOS ?
