Re: Thermal module errors

Ok, I played with it and I'm down to 4 errors and 2 warnings when compiling.

The warnings:  two _OFF routines have "not all control paths return a
value" but since they're warnings, I'm ignoring them.
The errors:

There is one reference to \C001 the string "C001" occurs only on this line
and it's referenced like (I think) a value store: If (LEqual (\C001,
0x00))
The are 3 references to \_PR.C000.  These three lines are the only places
_PR is referenced at all.  Not even a scope statement for _PR. Of the
three references, two are notify statments:  Notify (\_PR.C000, 0x80) and
one is a Package statement nested inside of a Name statement.
 Name (_PSL, Package (0x01)
            {
                \_PR.C000
            })


Mean anything?

I had a feeling it was going to come to that.  I had already
disassembled the DSDT but it doesn't mean anything to me.

Well, to me it means just a little bit more :)

Lets see, here's the cause of one of the errors:

dsdt-darren.dsl  5892:                 Store (C11A (0x1F, 0x00, 0x00,
0x00), Local0)
Error    1029 -   Called method returns no value ^

OK, let's look at method C11A (in namespace _TZ_):

       Method (C11A, 4, Serialized)
       {
           \_SB.C03E.C053.C0D1.C11A (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3)
       }

And \_SB.C03E.C053.C0D1.C11A looks like it does return a value:

                   Method (C11A, 4, NotSerialized)
                   {
                       Acquire (C10B, 0xFFFF)
                       Acquire (\_GL, 0xFFFF)
                       [snip]
                       Release (\_GL)
                       Release (C10B)
                       Return (Local7)
                   }

Ok, here's the bug. This method calls another and discards its value.
So, it should be like this:

       Method (C11A, 4, Serialized)
       {
          Return (  \_SB.C03E.C053.C0D1.C11A (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3) )
       }

I am not able to compile your DSDT. Can you please try to compile it
yourself ?

There's a problem with your DSDT. Can you sent it to this list ? I
believe there's already a DSTD patch for your compaq or a similar one.

Install the Intel iasl package (you can find it at
http://www.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads.htm )  and do a
'iasl -d /proc/acpi/dsdt'. Send here the results, please.
