hey, it seems to work here. my ac_adapter is back with my custom DSDT
from the initrd.  :) thank you very much.

perhaps you should also say that the ramdisk support has to be
included statically (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y). i had it as a module and was
looking for these options to no avail. :)

i do not know much about printk, but possibly, KERN_INFO (<6>) is only
parsed when it is at the beginning of a line. so your "found" or "not
found" statements would also be printed out with KERN_INFO as subsequent
calls of printk without a newline, although the do not start with
KERN_INFO. just a wild guess. :)

cheers,
 sebastian
