How to get SuSE 9 to use my newly compiled DSDT

How to get SuSE 9 to use my newly compiled DSDT

[linux-vauq3e8UGOy3omyEuwWGNA]

I have  my newly compiled dsdt
/etc/dsdt

How do I set this as my new DSDT under SuSE 9?


I have used the Yast Sysconfig and changed the value under the KERNEL 
section...but it isn't using it :( and it hasn't changed the init in /boot, 
so what command do you type? 

many thanks
George

in /etc/sysconfig/kernel i have:
ACPI_DSDT="/boot/DSDT.aml" 
of course, you have to give the filename of your DSDT

mk_initrd (as root) does the trick.

ACPI on Inspiron 5100 doesn't work

[linux-vauq3e8UGOy3omyEuwWGNA]

I got the DSDT to be used on bootup...



Looking for DSDT in initrd ... found (at offset 286191)!
    ACPI-0292: *** Info: Table [DSDT] replaced by host OS


But It doesn't work.

Any suggestions people?

I'm using SUSE 9 on Dell Inspiron 5100
