It looks like the tables in question are dynamically loaded: >ACPI: SSDT 7D6E1B32, 02C4 (r1 PmRef Cpu0Ist 100 INTL 20050513) >Table [SSDT](id 0044) - 0 Objects with 0 Devices 0 Methods 0 Regions >ACPI: SSDT 7D6E1E7B, 085E (r1 PmRef Cpu0Cst 100 INTL 20050513) >Table [SSDT](id 0045) - 0 Objects with 0 Devices 0 Methods 0 Regions >ACPI: SSDT 7D6E1A6A, 00C8 (r1 PmRef Cpu1Ist 100 INTL 20050513) >Table [SSDT](id 0050) - 0 Objects with 0 Devices 0 Methods 0 Regions >ACPI: SSDT 7D6E1DF6, 0085 (r1 PmRef Cpu1Cst 100 INTL 20050513) >Table [SSDT](id 0051) - 0 Objects with 0 Devices 0 Methods 0 Regions What the zeroes mean is that a WalkNamespace after the table load did not find any such objects created by the table. Something does look wrong, it may not affect your machine, but has the potential to cause problems on other machines. The difference in owner IDs between the two traces might mean that there is some mismatch somewhere. I would debug and determine 1) The actual owner id created for the newly loaded table, and 2) what owner id is passed to AcpiDsInitializeObjects after the table is loaded.
