How to add DSDT in 2.4.21-rc1?

How to add DSDT in 2.4.21-rc1?

[Darren Benham]

Ok, so maybe my last subject wasn't descriptive enough to get those that
know to answer....

I gleefully went to compile the 2.4.21-rc1 source and everything went well
until I tried to patch osl.c to include my custom DSDT (needed for my
compaq laptop).  It's gone!  I tried "grep" for the override function
we've all be patching and it's not there either.

What is the new "approved" (or hacked) way to include an override DSDT table?

Hi darren,
I think you had also to add a acpi patch to your kernel tree, cause without this you'll have only some old acpi-stuff in the kernel. Try the patch for the pre6 ... . But at all start to understand what you've done the time before you used acpi ... ;-)
