iasl now requires glibc 2.3?

After much reading I find myself ready to dive into the proceedures of
http://developer.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/bios_override.htm BUT when Itry to use iasl on SuSE 8.1 it states I now need to use glibc 2.3 :( tell me it aint so... is there an older version of this util that will allow be to disassemble and reassemble my DSDT?

I am doing this for a ACER TM 430 ... if anyone has specific advice for that model of laptop.

Thanks again... still banging my head on the wall...

Hi,

you can make your own iasl from the source code at Intel.

OK, I have managed that... now I am stumped.. after disassembling the DSDT I realize Holy $h!7 ... I havent a clue on what to change in there!

I do have another question. After upgrading to the 2.4.20 kernel I notice the following in my boot log, mabey I have another simpler problem?: (I have an Acer TM430 Laptop)

Frankly, neither did I .. but thanks to the efforts and perseverence of a couple of list members I have a fixed (but untested) dsdt for my U1.

There's a useful page here BTW

http://www.cpqlinux.com/acpi-howto.html

that may help you fix the more obvious errors.

I read that article and cant get it figured out... I will keep working at it. I have a feeling I am missing something simple. What does the following supposed to tell me? How do I correct the "No Such Device?" errors? LOL, I love linux, but $h!7 he he..

hi preston..

Received at 2003-05-13 / 10:54 by Preston Lord:

as you have told us, you are using a notebook from Acer. as the name of the module suggests, it is meant for computers from Toshiba (not for all of them, btw). so just ignore it or take it out of your list of autoloaded modules. dunno your distro, perhaps:

/etc/modules (debian)
/etc/modules.autoload (gentoo)
/etc/sysconfig/powermanagement (suse? redhat?)

hth,

toshiba != acer.
