Hi,

I am working on a solution in cooperation with Ducrot Bruno (or rather:
Ducrot is working and I am testing ;-))

Until now, there have been little success. Ducrot has discovered that it
is the RAMB address in the dsdt table that is wrong. Now we are working
on either finding a way to correct the dsdt or another solution based on
lm-sensors and bypassing acpi

If you have any ideas or knowledge of these things please join in..
