The only way I have been able to get the patched DSDT to work is to
build it into the kernel.  This is less than ideal but will allow you to
use your computer.  If you have been unable to get a patched DSDT to
work, this should work for you.  I am currently running 14.04 with a
custom kernel build.  The following should work with other kernel
versions as well.  I am only posting the steps exactly as I performed
them, so if version number etc don't match for you, you are on your own.

1) Install Ubuntu 14.04.  If you have to, just pull out your battery and
complete the installation.  Just leave it out until we are finished.

2) Compile your custom DSDT - this should produce a DSDT.hex file that you will need for incorporation into the kernel.  
sudo iasl -tc DSDT.dsl

3) Get the source:
sudo apt-get source linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic

4) Untar the source:
gzip -cd linux_3.13.0.orig.tar.gz | tar xvf -

5) Move into the directory that contains the kernel source code and apply the patch:
cd linux-3.13/
gzip -cd ~/linux_3.13.0-24.47.diff.gz | patch -p1

6) Get the required tools to build the kernel
sudo apt-get install git-core libncurses5 libncurses5-dev libelf-dev asciidoc binutils-dev linux-source qt3-dev-tools libqt3-mt-dev libncurses5 libncurses5-dev fakeroot build-essential crash kexec-tools makedumpfile kernel-wedge kernel-package gcc

7) Configure the kernel for compilation:
make menuconfig

When the menu comes up navigate to Power Management and ACPI options -> ACPI
In the field "Custom DSDT Table file to include" enter the path to your DSDT.hex file which for me was /home/DSDT.hex

Now navigate to General Setup (you will have to go back to the main menu)
In the field "Local Version" enter "-custom-dsdt"

Now navigate to Device Drivers -> Generic Driver Options 
Deselect the field "Prevent Firmware from being built"

Select save at the bottom, accept the default file name and exit

8) Build the kernel:
sudo make -j3 deb-pkg

At this point, just walk away from you computer.  Come back every so
often to check on the progress but the build will probably take a couple
of hours(depending on your system).  Try to resolve it and retry
building the kernel

9) Install the kernel:
sudo dpkg -i linux-image-3.13.9-custom-dsdt_3.13.9-custom-dsdt-4_amd64.deb

This will install the new kernel.  If it completes successfully, reboot
your system.  The default grub option should now be your new kernel.
You can verify the custom DSDT is loaded in dmesg and you should see
your custom version number with the "uname -r" command.  If all goes
well power off your computer, reinstall your battery, and boot your
computer up.

Let me know if I missed anything and good luck.

Title:
  8086:0166 [Lenovo IdeaPad Z580] 12.04-13.10 10-20min boot delay (From
  3.2.0.29->3.12-rc2)

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Unknown
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On updating the kernel from 3.2.0.29 to any later version (3.2.0.30)
  and above, Ubuntu will not boot. I see a blank screen with a cursor
  but nothing happens after that.

  Trying to boot into recovery mode is not useful either.

  Booting into an older version of the kernel (3.2.0.29) is successful.

  I have seen this issue with all kernels after 3.2.0.29 till date :
  3.2.0.31, 3.2.0.32, 3.2.0.33, 3.2.0.34, 3.2.0.35
