Thanks so much! I'm so glad that you are willing to help all of us out. I have a friend that has a HP Pavilion DV6809WM, so I will extract his DSDT (he's not a Linux guy at all) for him also and post it. I also want to help to get everyone's DSDT fixed! :)

TO ALL AFFECTED: I will try to help fix DSDT errors for anyone that can
email me a copy of their dsdt.dat. You can obtain it by following my how
to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1036051&highlight=dsdt This
is not to slight the devs, but they can only implement workarounds. The
problem is with the Bios vendor/HP. Even if the devs are able to patch
it, you are still going to have a broken DSDT. Most of the laptops
affected by this don't have proper thermal trip points, and get very
warm during normal use. This also keeps a large number of laptops from
suspending/hibernating. If you want to make the "right" fix, then I will
try to help.
