Mine fails regardless of which kernel I use. I've gone all the way back to 2.6.38.8 and up including the most current 3.8 and I think it doesn't have anything to do with the kernel or Nikitas patch as other users have posted their success with most of the kernels I tried. I think the problem is the machine. My Toshiba Satellite L355D-S7809 has InsydeH2O BIOS v1.9, the last update I can find for my model. This webpage http://memebeam.org/toys/ToshibaAcpiDriver specifies this failure error and says that it is due to non-Toshiba BIOS. I am also unable to get Omnibook patch to work either, which is supposed to work on Phoenix BIOS on the Toshibas.

Reloading the module

If someone has gotten this to work with the InsydeH2O BIOS I'd like to hear from you. Otherwise I'm afraid I've done all the troubleshooting I can do, and will either have to live with my fan running at full speed once the initial threshold is crossed, or I'm going to have to put Windows back on.
