Do you have any additional, more specific info regarding the makefile editing that is required? Also, is there a particular reason for upgrading to the 2.4.20 kernel? I have a Toshiba Satellite 5100 notebook with Debian 3.0 installed; the 2.4.18 kernel is the latest on my CD set. If necessary, I'd upgrade the kernel, but if not, I'd rather add ACPI to the current one. Greetinx, Jan -- +- Jan T.
