The other errors I'm not finding docs on are related to PPC dsdt.dsl 2506: If (LNot (LEqual (\_PR.CPU0._PPC, 0x00))) Error 1022 - Object does not exist ^ (\_PR.CPU0._PPC) dsdt.dsl 2508: Store (0x00, \_PR.CPU0._PPC) Error 1022 - Object does not exist ^ (\_PR.CPU0._PPC) dsdt.dsl 2516: If (LLess (\_PR.CPU0._PPC, Local1)) Error 1022 - Object does not exist ^ (\_PR.CPU0._PPC) There are about 10 of these. I'd appreciate any tips/pointers/FM's etc any one here can give. I can't find any evidence of an ECTC on this one but then again I've just made the decision to dive into this so I'm in the process of learning where everything is. Interesting side note. WinXP on this box (keeping it for the warranty grrrr) also has troubles with aspects of this DSDT as well.
