Just a plug, hoping someone can point me in the right direction to help 
myself.  I haven't found anything from google, or in the handbook that 
really helps.

I've dumped the ASL and it compiles cleanly.  I've stripped most devices 
out of the kernel to get a minimal version for testing, and built a 
debug version of the acpi module.  At this point, I don't understand the 
ACPI code well enough to understand how it's all supposed to work.

Should I post kernconf, sysctl and ASL at this point, or is there 
somewhere I can find more information about debugging ACPI?

Joe.
