ACPI-20030228 and custom dsdt

ACPI-20030228 and custom dsdt

[Greg Oliver]

What is the secret for incorporating this into the 2.4.21-pre4 kernel
sources?  All patches apply cleanly, but all available methods to use my
own DSDT fail compilation.

I have tried the diff for osl.c from the wikiwiki site as well as 2 or 3
other recommendations, to no avail.  Is there somewhere simple I can
just put the .hex file?

Thanks,

Greg Oliver

No... You apply the diff to osl.c that expects an external variable called
AmlCode.
You then have to rename the dsdt.hex into something that will compile.  I
think 2.4 make will pick up the file but with 2.5 you have to modify the
make file.
Alternatively, you can add #include "dsdt.hex" to the osl.c file...

This still works for me.
