And can you post the DSDT? The hardware is home-built with an ASUS M3N78-VM motherboard and an Athlon X2 6000 3.1G CPU running an x86_64 OS. I ran the following commands per the instructions at http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/acpi/overridingDSDT.php with the following results: ===================== desktop:~ # cp /proc/acpi/dsdt DSDT desktop:~ # acpidump > acpidump.out Wrong checksum for OEMB! desktop:~ # acpixtract DSDT acpidump > DSDT.dat desktop:~ # iasl -d DSDT.dat Intel ACPI Component Architecture AML Disassembler version 20081031 [Dec 3 2008] Copyright (C) 2000 - 2008 Intel Corporation Supports ACPI Specification Revision 3.0a Loading Acpi table from file DSDT.dat TableHeader length [0x62617420] greater than the input file size [0x35] Could not get table from the file ================== Do the messages indicate a BIOS problem? I have not updated for some time, and would rather not do so unless necessary. Should I attach the files DSDT.dat, acpidump.out, or DSDT?
