Hello,

I'm new to the list and don't know much about ACPI. This is my firt
post. I have tried to search the list archive but all I got is :
"Please check back in 10-15 minutes. We're sorry for the inconvenience.
". I don't know if this is the right place to ask. I'm not a kernel
developer just a user seeking for help.

I'm running kernel 2.4.18+acpi-20020726 on my inspiron 2650.

Shutting down works fine but I can't get information from battery :

# cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info 
present:                 yes
ERROR: Unable to read battery information

Also after I applied the acpi path I can't send my machine to sleep.
"# echo 1 > /proc/acpi/sleep" doesn't works any more.

I've seen the page
http://www.intel.com/technology/IAPC/acpi/bios_override.htm but could
not download the ad.exe utility. The link seems to be broken. Is there
an other way to disassemble th DSDT ?

My dmesg : http://metin.org/dmesg
My /proc/acpi/dsdt : http://metin.org/dsdt

I'm using the last Bios update (A03) that Dell released.

best regards,

(See steps #3 and #4)

As a user do this:

1) mkdir /tmp/acpi && cd /tmp/acpi
2) cat /proc/acpi/dsdt > dsdt.dat    (root power needed here)
3) build people.freebsd.org/~takawata/pacpidump.tar.gz (modify the Makefile to build on linux)
4) ./pacpidump/acpidump > dsdt.asl   (need root power here)
5) fix dsdt.asl     (this is specific to your individual problem)
6) unpack www.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads/iasl-linux-20020725.tar.gz
7) ./iasl-linux-20020725/iasl -tc dsdt.asl (Compilation complete. 0 errors 0 warnings)
8) cat linux-2.4.18.tar.bz2 | bunzip2 | tar -xvf -
9) cd linux
10) zcat ../acpi-20020726-2.4.18.diff.gz | patch -p1 (looks clean) (from www.sf.net)
11) cat ../linux-2.4.18-acpi-20020709-dsdt.patch.bz2 | bunzip2 | patch -p1 (looks clean) (from dude.noc.clara.net/~faye/compaq2701ea/linux-2.4.18-acpi-20020709-dsdt.patch.bz2)
12) cp -a ../dsdt.hex drivers/acpi/tables/acpi_dsdt.c
13) follow standard kernel building procedures (http://www.cpqlinux.com/kernel.html)

An alternative is to use iasl with the -d option.

Must admit that I have not try it so much, though...
