just FYI, Windows has ACPI debugger, so if you attach wingdb at early boot
you can set acpi breakpoint and after that enable all kind of debug info (see 
MSDN)
that usually say why exactly it doesn't like something in AML.

It used to require checked build and it is tricky to enable but once
you figured how, it works like charm.
