well sorry, Error calling BSTS unsupported model S37E, trying default values send /proc/acpi/dsdt to the developers is not very verbose either :-)
From the dmesg there are three issues in the bug. 1. error calling BSTS. The root cause is that ATKD has definition of BSTS method in the DSDT table. 2. unsupported model . The INIT method of ATKD will return the value of S37E. Unfortunately no model is matched in the current asus model table for the the model string of S37E. 3. segfault at 0000000000000000 rip 00002ba1c2737235 rsp 00007fffe8a3c540 error 4 Will you please provide more dmesg info about the issue 3? Thanks.
From the dmesg and acpidump info there exist the following three problems in this bug. a. error calling BSTS. The root cause is that ATKD has no definition of BSTS method in the DSDT table. Please contact with the ASUS and get the latest BIOS. b. unsupported model. The INIT method of ATKD returns the value of S37E. Unfortunately no model is matched in the current ASUS mode table for the S37E. Maybe it is appropriate to fix this problem by ASUS. c. segment fault. This is caused by application fault and can be ignored.
From the above analysis the root cause is that the asus_acpi.c doesn't match the BIOS. It is appropriate to fix this bug by ASUS.
update the resolution to WONTFIX instead of Insufficient data...
