I don't know.

Yes.
For this, get pmtools from intel site, compile acpidmp and send me
the output of acpidmp DSDT > dsdt

(there is no debian package:
ducrot@neptune:~$ apt-cache search pmtools
cpmtools - Tools to access CP/M file systems
pmtools - Perl module tools
)

Something like that:

wget http://developer.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads/pmtools-20010730.tar.gz
tar xzvfp pmtools-20010730.tar.gz
cd pmtools-20010730/acpidmp
make
sudo ./acpidmp DSDT > dsdt
gzip dsdt

then mail me the dsdt.gz.
