Re: Problems installing ACPI

Hi Heiko

Thank you so much for your help.

However i am having a bit of a problem applying your patch. The file
drivers/acpi/osl.c does not exist instead there is a file called os.c.
I looked at the file and tried to patch it manualy, but can not find the
position of the last part of the patch.

The first part was added at line 85 of os.c

static int acpi_irq_irq = 0;
static OSD_HANDLER acpi_irq_handler = NULL;
static void *acpi_irq_context = NULL;

extern unsigned char AmlCode[];

In which function is the last part supposed to go?
Which kernel did you use?

regards Christian
