Howto Fix Your Buggy DSDT.

Okay, I put in my edited dsdt (with the _OSC error) and the boot perameter to boot loader, but nothing has changed ( still cannot shutdown, sleep, or hibernate properly) . Anyway, I'll try your suggestion about KOTD next month when my internet replenishes it bandwidth.

can someone help me I'm trying to fix my dsdt but i'm not able to fix 1 error:

Thanks Snakedriver, the new kernel, well to be exact, opensuse 11.0 alpha 2, solved the problem with shutdown

I've searched & nothing jumps out at me & I don't have Unload (PB5) in mine.

Unload (PB5)
}

If (LNotEqual (Arg1, One))
{

1. Try taking that blank line out & recompile
and/or
2. use the search feature & see what Arg1 links to.
