Comment 45 for bug 132271

Daniel: Thanks alot. Guess the kernel guys were very wrong with assume "the fualt does not lie with the kernel". If you have to patch the BIOS of a large number of notebooks to make them work with Linux. In my opionion clearly Linux is borken, when it directly uses the ACPI specification for implementing its code, without adding this very important requirement:

"Do not depend to closely on the information found in ACPI tables, since most BIOS programmers don't get sufficient time to deliver a good product."
