dsdt + ssdt must match, and when using the qemu prebuild dsdt (older
than commit 76e58028d28e78431f9de3cee0b3c88d807fa39d, thus expecting a
old-style ssdt) and a fresh seabios build (newer than
76e58028d28e78431f9de3cee0b3c88d807fa39d, thus generating a new-style
ssdt) via -bios then you'll end up with a mismatch and things don't work.
cheers,
Gerd
