Subject: DSDT loading patch
Date: Mon, 6 Dec 2004 09:07:53 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200412060907.53079.david.goodenough@btconnect.com> (raw)
I recently bought my eldest son a Samsung P28 laptop, which works just fine
with Linux except of course that it suffers from a badly built DSDT. I have
found instructions as to how to fix it and found that this required me to
add in a patch to the kernel to allow a DSDT image to be appended to the
initrd image. This patch seems to have been around for a long time and
judging by the number of machines listed as needing to have their DSDT
updated there is a need to have this patch in the standard kernel. Is there
a reason why this patch has not been included?
The most useful page I found that describes this particular patch was
http://gaugusch.at/kernel.shtml, which says that SuSE now include the
patch anyway, and that Mandrake are considering it.
David
