Hi,

Just want to ask where can I find a patch that will allow me to use my own dsdt for kernel 2.4.24? Is there such a patch flying around or is the kernel itself patched to allow implementation of custom dsdt table? I am sorry if this is the wrong place to ask such a question but I could not find a mailing list for dsdt itself. I would very much appreciate if someone can point me to the right direction. Thanks heaps.

Alimin

you might try this:

http://gaugusch.at/kernel.shtml

also dino klein has announced a more generic patch last week or so, check the archives for that version.

there's an HOWTO here (even if against linux-2.4.18):

Thanks Luca. That's what I have been following as well. But then I am stuck with the step of patching osl.c in order to include my own dsdt table. The howto had a patch for kernel 2.4.18 but what about 2.4.24 which I am using now? Is there any osl.c patch for 2.4.24 somewhere?

Thanks Sebastian. I feel a bit lost after consulting the more generic patch you suggested before. Yes, at the moment I have two choices, one is to use the initrd patch as you pointed out and the other one is to patch osl.c and compile the custom dsdt into the kernel. I just want to know if there is a patch to osl.c for kernel 2.4.24 made available? If there isn't one, then I can always use the initrd patch which I am using at the moment. I am not sure which method is the best though.

well, the initrd patch is quite flexible. there is no need to recompile your kernel if you change the DSDT.
dunno about osl.c patch for 2.4.24 (or 2.6).
