Dear Bruno,

that's the osl.c I use. I have just discovered that I compiled ACPI as modules

OK.  I looked it a little bit more and I consider that is a bug in the acpi
implementation in linux.  I will provide a patch to the acpi-ml list but
only for tomorrow (sorry, I am a little bit busy, you know :).

short explanation:

drivers/acpi/ec.c::acpi_ec_ecdt_probe() load the ECDT table
via acpi_get_firmware_table() but should use something else
or the osl provided mechanism for overriding the ECDT table
do not work.
