RE: ACPI Panic on Current, AMD64

This problem sounds familiar. In ACPICA, we found an issue where the _CRS returns an extended IRQ descriptor, but it gets optimized to an IRQNoFlags descriptor before the template is sent to _SRS. This causes problems on some machines. We fixed this and actually made a clarification to the ACPI specification that the _SRS template buffer must contain identical descriptors as returned from the _CRS template. This change was made in ACPICA version 20080213. BZ 9487 is the Linux sighting.


13 February 2008. Summary of changes for version 20080213:

Fixed a problem where resource descriptor size optimization could cause a 
problem when a _CRS resource template is passed to a _SRS method. The _SRS 
resource template must use the same descriptors (with the same size) as 
returned from _CRS. This change affects the following resource descriptors: 
IRQ / IRQNoFlags and StartDependendentFn / StartDependentFnNoPri. (BZ 9487)
