ivanmmj: I am stuck on the last four errors for yours. It will take some more investigating.

equin00x: Is this the original without changes, or maybe a custom machine? Send me a fresh dsdt.dsl if you previously made any changes to the one you sent. If this is a custom machine, the dsdt will not matter. You have 201+ errors, and every one says objects don't exist that your bios is telling it to look for.

Hi 67GTA, thanks for the fixed dsdt.
iasl now gives me 0 Errors, 0 Warnings, 0 Remarks, and 44 Optimizations
However, still the same errors on dmesg:

I strongly think it's a kernel bug.

Yes, but the kernel is working around the errors. I would file a kernel bug at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/

[67GTA]

hi.......programer. I don't speak machine language. I have googled for the corrections to make to my dsdt.dsl file and I can't find any of the errors that I'm getting. So, I'm going to have to go back to Hardy Heron because everything (except for sound capture which still doesn't work on this laptop) worked in Hardy. Just finding a work around doesn't help the community. this needs to be fixed by someone who knows what they're doing at the source code level... right?

or am i missing something?

Grace and Peace,
Matt

You are mostly right. Ubuntu usually includes newer versions of software that may still have bugs to work out(Debian sid). You have to file bugs with the original authors of the packages your having trouble with such as alsa for sound. The Ubuntu devs mostly rely on bug fixes to float down stream from other projects. Other distros like Debian, Opensuse, Fedora, etc will work to fix bugs and send patches upstream to benefit others. With Ubuntu you are mostly out of luck because bugs usually don't get fixed until the next release when they pull in updated packages from Debian unstable, which in turn, introduces new bugs, and on and on...

This was a bug that was supposed to be fixed. Gzip was missing from the initramfs image, so it wasn't able to uncompress it while updating. Make sure you are up to date. You can try running

sudo /etc/init.d/console-setup restart

to maybe temporarily work around it. Then try updating the initramfs image.
