My apologies...yes, I'd seen the use of acpidmp mentioned on the ACPI
Sourceforge site, as well as on the Gentoo Linux forums, so I figured it
was at least a marginally useful tool =)  The DSDT in raw format is
attached to this email.

I've been looking at the patch for the 2.4 kernel series that allows one
to fake an ECDT at boot time (with the ecdt_fake parameter passed
through Grub/Lilo), and attempting to tinker with it so that it could be
applied to the 2.6 kernel tree, but so far I haven't been having much
success =\  The kernel compiles with my slightly-modified patch, but it
doesn't seem to pick up or use the passed-in ECDT (no debug messages to
that effect, anyway, as there should be, and it certainly isn't fixing
anything =P), so my assumption is that there's a deeper difference
between the 2.4 and 2.6 kernel series with regards to ACPI that will
require a little more poking and prodding with this patch =)  As my DSDT
re-compiles cleanly with iasl, and the errors I'm getting don't seem to
indicate anything actually wrong with my DSDT, I'm starting to think
that I just need to find a way to pass the ECDT at boot time to fix the
problems...I shall continue poking away at the 2.6 tree in an attempt to
patch it with the ecdt_fake patch =)
