Could you attach the faulty DSDT *and* the custom DSDT so we can look at
working around the problem?

To extract the DSDT, name it usefully, and compress it:

sudo apt-get install dmidecode
MODEL=$(sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name)
BIOS_VERSION=$(sudo dmidecode -s bios-version)
sudo cat /proc/acpi/dsdt | cat - >${MODEL}-${BIOS_VERSION}-ORIGINAL.aml
gzip ${MODEL}-${BIOS_VERSION}-ORIGINAL.aml

For the custom DSDT it only needs:

gzip </etc/initramfs-tools/DSDT.aml >${MODEL}-${BIOS_VERSION}-CUSTOM.aml.gz
