It wasn't apparent that you needed/wanted to do that. Just because you're using an upgraded SUSE doesn't mean you have to use the same version of the kernel. If you have to recompile, I'd apply the acpi patch to the current kernel source (NOT 2.4.20 - iirc, it's 2.4.21) and copy the config file that corresponds to your working kernel image (it's in the same directory as your kernel - usually in /boot/config*) to the .config file in the kernel source directory. Then compile... The "DSDT in initrd" patch can't do anything for you - it's for fixing DSDTs, and yours apparently doesn't need fixing. derek ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ObjectStore.
