Renaming all DMA to e.g. _DMA_ (beside the ones where the DMA keyword should be used, not sure if there is case in your DSDT) should work around that. > > dsdt.dsl 1504: Field (\_SB.PCI0.ISA.COM, ByteAcc, > NoLock, Preserve) > Error 4062 - Object does not exist ^ (\_SB.PCI0.ISA.COM) see above ... > dsdt.dsl 2906: } > Error 4094 - ^ syntax error, unexpected '}', expecting $end Don't know, follow up error from above? Better get the latest acpica-unix from: http://developer.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads.htm Use acpidump, do not cp /proc/acpi/dsdt (this one is going to vanish sooner or later). Then use the compiled acpixtract from acpica-unix (not the perl one from pmtools, that one gets obsolete). You now should get several tables DSDT.dat SSDT1.dat SSDT2.dat ... If you cut of the header (and closing '}' at the end of the table) of the SSDTs and C&P them to the end of the DSDT (inside the last closing '}') everything should compile fine. The latest iasl compiler should add External statements at the beginning of the disassembled table, but this does not work perfectly yet. You can: iasl -e TABLE_WITH_EXTERNAL_DECLARATIONS.aml -d TABLE_TO_DISASSEMBLE.aml to let iasl resolve External symbols correctly. But this is also not fully (not at all..) implemented. I am currently playing with that, can you send me your acpidump output, please.
