I can understand the DSDT problem as that is common (although I think Asus uses the Intel compiler rather than MS). What doesn't make sense to me is that a development Ubuntu kernel prior to Dapper release works and the Edgy 2.6.17 kernel works as well.
Doesn't this point to a kernel issue? In addition Asus also manufacturers another version of the S96J - the S96F. This model lacks ATI graphics and uses ATA rather than SATA. The S96F works without the acpi=off append. -- ACPI-0517: ****Error Method parse/execudion failed https://launchpad.net/bugs/48556 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
