Hello everyone,
I'm the owner of a dell inspiron 8500. I downloaded 
theDell-inspiron-a03-8500-original.asl from the website and tried to 
compile it with the iasl compiler that is currently available
output goes like this:

clara:# iasl-linux-20030523/iasl -tc Dell-Inspiron_8500-A03-original.asl

I'm a quiet new to linux and debian, so I haven't figured out yet, where
the log file for the failed startup of the compiled kernel is. Sorry. I
can only see the actual kernel startup messages. Though, when I try to
startup the new kernel, at some part it fuzzes something about asl not
working correctly, some unresolved links and then it panics.
Is this due to the warnings that the iasl pointed out? How can I get a
dsdt.hex for my computer (i8500)? If someone has compiled it
successfully, i would really be really thankful if you attach it to your
answer. (please CC me, cause I'm not part of the mailing list).
thanx in advance
