I just tried applying Tom's workaround. Unfortunately, it seems to have no effect on my boot time.
Further information: I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 on a Lenovo Z580 Decompiling DSDT works fine. I made the modification no problem. When I recompiled, I got some warning messages, I'll attach the output from that below. running "acpi /boot/DSDT.aml" does not give error messages (or return anything for that matter) booting linux then takes about 17 minutes I'd love to hear if anybody has other suggestions. I'm happy to provide any additional information. Thanks.
