Hello; what info is supplied with EFI i.g. I'm using a macbook pro.
After looking at:
http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/view.php I was unable to locate
anything with apple, or at least
couldn't find the manufacture number.
If somebody has already done this, I was wondering if it would be O.K.
if I can attached my dsdt.dsl with the errors,
and my explanation of what I changed, just so If I did something
completely wrong


iasl will complain about code that the Linux interpreter will happily
accept. If the only reason you've made changes is that iasl complains,
then it's unlikely that there's any functional difference as a result.
Otherwise, work out which changes fix which Linux bugs and file a bug
at bugzilla.kernel.org against acpi.

Hello; I modified dsdt because iasl was complaining, As a result like
what you said
"then it's unlikely that there's any functional difference as a
result" is probably
what I'm seeing. As for a bug report I already have one filed. As to
why I'm messing with
the dsdt, just trying to isolate the problem with the bug I have
already filed., or at least
get a better idea of what is happening. Anyways thanks for the info.

For difference, you should look for "Darwin", this is how MacOS X identifies
itself to hardware.

Hello;
So adding acpi_osi=Darwin will work for boot parameter. Also I wanted
to apologize If I pissed you off,
I didn't quite understand what was really happening, and now after
looking into the scenario, I think I need to find out
what is going on with my GPE's, this way you're detector(ec.c) won't
be going off so frequently.

Hmm I like this option(never new it existed), the only problem I'm seeing right
now is no battery info in /proc/acpi, "but there is no gpe storm which
makes me happy".
After searching I'm looking at the same as this:
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs/2007-08/msg09525.html
Overall the outcome of using sbs is bad with the Darwin option, system
sticks after loading
the module during boot. even under different proceedures
i.g. with
sbs=only (no a/c and battery modules)
sbs+ac(module)
sbs+ac+battery(modules)
