There are also a lot of bugs lurking in BIOSes, specifically "faily old ones"; but even my brand new Ferrari 4000 has a BIOS bug which just happens to work under Windows; the AML is invalid so the battery status cannot be computed. Fortunately, Solaris does allow you to install a replacement table. (There are really only two AML interpreters and compilers: the one found in Windows and the one from Intel (ACPICA) which is used in Solaris, Linux and others.
