acpidump

[praneethmendu]

dear rehabman,

Just signed up for gitHub i.e. I am a super-noob so please tolerate my noobness.

I wanted to bring a couple of issues to your notice:

1) the acpidump method is not working, to be specific it claims there is no option -t when i type

sudo acpidump -b -t DSDT -o dsdt.aml

the help in my terminal showed no -t option but in the ubuntu man-pages show a : -t, --table DSDT option. I will do a little of my own research and get back to you.

2) Tell me if I got it right : If i use the DSDT=No boot flag and then open MaciASL the raw DSDT is already loaded and I don't need to extract anything I can start patching, right ?

I was really confused by that part.

3) I am working with a HP pavilion dv6-6128nr (sandy-bridge i5 with hd 3000 bios:F.1B ) and I am assuming the "ProBook 4x40s Sandy Bridge" is an appropriate patch.

when I try to save my raw DSDT I get the error "_HID suffix must be all hex digits" which I solve by changing ABCDEFGH to ABCDEF00

Then when I apply only the sandy bridge patch I get this error " 2579, 6126, syntax error, unexpected '}' "

the code around this line is (error is on the line with the closing curly brace) :

               Method (_Q20, 0, NotSerialized)  // _Qxx: EC Query
                {
                    Store (0x20, IO80)
                    _Q1F ()
                    Sleep (0x14)
                    Notify (
                }

notice how Notify is incomplete.

I went back to my raw DSDT and in almost the same location I found this :

                Method (_Q20, 0, NotSerialized)  // _Qxx: EC Query
                {
                    Store (0x20, IO80)
                    _Q1F ()
                    Sleep (0x14)
                    Notify (\_TZ.THRM, 0x80)
                }

I tried completing the Notify command from here but that just resulted in a big mess.

my raw DSDT from Linux cat method: ori_dsdt.aml.zip

i tried -t and --table DSDT instead of -t DSDT but all are rejected by the same reason : illegal option : -t

I can see that the code u provided is an example on the ubuntu man page but this is the result i am getting. I will try on my dads work laptop when he is not around and report back shortly.
