Looks like standard Compaq brokenness using the illegal character * in HID and 
other fields...

Try replacing all of the *PNP with just PNP in the ASL.  Ditto for anything 
else starting with *.  Recompile it and use acpi_dsdt_load="YES" to load your 
fixed dsdt.  It might help assuming there are no other bugs in it :)
