I've been having issues with the MSI VR705 ACPI functionality. The chipset is an MCP79 and has an embedded controller that puts this out at boot: BIOS-e820: 00000000cffa0000 - 00000000cffae000 (ACPI data) BIOS-e820: 00000000cffae000 - 00000000cfff0000 (ACPI NVS) ACPI: RSDP 000FA450, 0014 (r0 MSI_NB) ACPI: RSDT CFFA0000, 004C (r1 MSI_NB MEGABOOK 1092009 MSFT 97) ACPI: FACP CFFA0200, 0084 (r1 MSI_NB MEGABOOK 1092009 MSFT 97) ACPI: DSDT CFFA0680, 9247 (r1 MSI_NB MEGABOOK 10 INTL 20051117) ACPI: FACS CFFAE000, 0040 ACPI: APIC CFFA0390, 0080 (r1 MSI_NB MEGABOOK 1092009 MSFT 97) ACPI: MCFG CFFA0410, 003C (r1 MSI_NB MEGABOOK 1092009 MSFT 97) ACPI: SLIC CFFA0450, 0176 (r1 MSI_NB MEGABOOK 1092009 MSFT 97) ACPI: WDRT CFFA05D0, 0047 (r1 MSI_NB MEGABOOK 1092009 MSFT 97) ACPI: ECDT CFFA0620, 0055 (r1 MSI_NB MEGABOOK 1092009 MSFT 97) ACPI: OEMB CFFAE040, 0078 (r1 MSI_NB MEGABOOK 1092009 MSFT 97) ACPI: HPET CFFAA680, 0038 (r1 MSI_NB MEGABOOK 1092009 MSFT 97) ACPI: NVHD CFFAE0C0, 0284 (r1 010909 NVHDCP 1092009 MSFT 97) ACPI: SSDT CFFAEC50, 04F0 (r1 MSI_NB MEGABOOK 1092009 INTL 20051117) ACPI: Local APIC address 0xfee00000 ACPI: PM-Timer IO Port: 0x4008 ACPI: Local APIC address 0xfee00000 ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x01] lapic_id[0x00] enabled) ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x02] lapic_id[0x01] enabled) ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x03] lapic_id[0x82] disabled) ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x04] lapic_id[0x83] disabled) ACPI: IOAPIC (id[0x02] address[0xfec00000] gsi_base[0]) ACPI: INT_SRC_OVR (bus 0 bus_irq 0 global_irq 2 dfl dfl) ACPI: INT_SRC_OVR (bus 0 bus_irq 9 global_irq 9 high level) ACPI: INT_SRC_OVR (bus 0 bus_irq 14 global_irq 14 high edge) ACPI: INT_SRC_OVR (bus 0 bus_irq 15 global_irq 15 high edge) ACPI: IRQ0 used by override.
