Thank you for the answer , as i wrote, i already downloaded (from the ACPI site) and compiled with iasl a bug-fixed DSDT for my laptop, the problem is I can't make the kernel read it during the boot. In a gentoo forum (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=122145) i found that i can pass the new DSDT.aml to the kernel like an initrd image so i changes grub.conf like this:
[...] title Gentoo GNU/Linux (Fixed DSDT) kernel (hd0,2)/boot/bzImage-2.6.15 root=/dev/hda3 initrd=(hd0,2)/boot/DSDT.aml [...] but when the system finish to boot, "dmsg |grep -i dsdt" says: ACPI: DSDT (v001 PTLTD 661MX 0x06040000 MSFT 0x0100000e) @ 0x00000000 ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initramfs... error, file /DSDT.aml not found. Table [DSDT](id 0006) - 485 Objects with 39 Devices 93 Methods 10 Regions So the original DSDT from the BIOS is loaded instead of loading the custom one. (Yes, i activate the CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT, RamDisk Support ecc.. options) I hope I clearly explained my problem (in a bad english :oP ), thank you for this and any further help regards Fabio Il giorno ven, 20/01/2006 alle 00.57 -0500, Brown, Len ha scritto: > Note that in most cases when Linux doesn't digest the DSDT > that the vendor shipped, it is a Linux bug that needs to > be filed and fixed.
