Great minds think alike. I also decided this week-end to update the
kernel on my 2800T, and ran into similar problems as you describe.

Thanks Bruno! Those changes worked beautifully. After ignoring the
"Object does not exist" errors generated by the compile, the produced
dsdt.hex works great.

Kevin: i've placed my modified dsdt.asl on my website:
http://www.wpi.edu/~flicken/linux/laptop/dsdt.asl It includes the
changes Bruno describes, as well as changes the names to more sensible
things (ie. FAN0 instead of C1D4).

Cheers,

Noel
