This is like getting gcc to complain about run-time bugs in a program. The compiler of a language (ASL in this case) compiles the language, regardless of run-time bugs because it can only detect syntax errors. And iasl does that pretty well. --Vernon - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
