(It looked like a deal at the time :( ) Looks like you run into the same issue as http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6649. I'm not an ACPI expert, by no means. I would take this to the linux-acpi mailing list. However, it looks to me like your DSDT has references to _TZ_.THRM which is also declared external. So something else needs to be loaded (?) that provides this method. Is it SSDT? I don't know, I don't even know what SSDT is. I can only suggest to follow what one person suggested in the bugzilla bug report: Try loading the cpufreq driver and check if the error goes away. As for the dme1737 errors. Can you send the output of 'dmesg -s64000'? ...juerg > > On 10/7/07, Borislav Davitkov <davitkov at gmail.com> wrote: > > Sorry for the belated reply. > > > > Lots of network trouble lately.
