I've uploaded an error log to the bugzilla [1] and have some questions that probably are more suited for a mailinglist? At first glance, the errors are identical to the 2010 acpi compiler. A few things I do not understand however. This board is only a few months old. The bios could be older, but more then a year hardly? Even the 'base' bits. I'd reccon one of the new compilers would be long available? (I know, OEM's don't like to upgrade their toolkits etc. *sigh* Also, the 20051117 iasl only supports ACPI Specification Rev 3.0, I'd guess it would support acpi 4.0a by now? (I think i found somewhere it only does 2.0 actually and I guess acpi is more of a laptop thing with the fancy stuff). Lastly, if I get 130 errors and but still a binary as a result how can that possibly even work? Would they even use this code 'as is' in production stuff? I suppose a DSDT isn't that important for a Desktop but from the way I see how buggy the uefi-bios is (for example it is extremely slow just post-ing with USB connected, maybe related to this?) How did this get past QA with so many errors, not even warnings.
