acpi dump

ASPM isn't working on my Dell 7559.

With ASPM forced, it fails after these messages:

Somehow the list of ACPI tables obtained with acpixtract on Windows is different to one on Linux!

and so acpi dumps are different on linux to windows using the same acpica version

Noticed that pre-installed Windows as well reports on problem with ASPM on this model (powercfg /energy command). Sorry for the opening this bug then. But is it okay that Windows and Linux do report different set of ACPI tables?
Comment 8 Lv Zheng 2016-12-26 05:16:17 UTC
Windows version acpica only dumps tables from registry.
And there are only limited tables available for a userspace application to dump.

You don't need to install any windows driver in order to have acpidump working on Windows, right?
So it's not a problem.

Closing the bug.

Thanks and best regards
