Dear Bruno, that's the osl.c I use. I have just discovered that I compiled ACPI as modules ... I am going to rebuild the kernel with ACPI compiled into the kernel, k?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.
Just looked at acpi_get_firmware_table() and this is OK. So, well my big apologizes for the above statement to acpi core team!
