>> does anyone know a method to get the dsdt table on windows? >(windows x64 that is). Doesn't matter -- the DSDT is provided by the BIOS and is the same under Windows and Linux. So the acpidump output that you're going to get from booting Linux with "acpi=off" and attach to bugzilla should be sufficient. However, If you have a Windows disk, it would be good to know that Windows is able to boot in ACPI mode on this box. You can verify that it is in ACPI mode by pressing the power button and seeing if it is SW controlled:-) else you can look in the device manager at the device tree and ACPI will be at the top. cheers, -Len - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
