Re: custom dsdt with 2.5

[roychris <roychris-GANU6spQydw@public.gmane.org>]

I changed by hand the osl.c of the kernel 2.5. I can send you a diff if 
you want. This is the few lines I changed :

#include "/my/home/dsdt.hex"

and

*new_table = (struct acpi_table_header *) AmlCode;

Now I have this error at boot time :

ACPI: Subsystem revision 20030418
    ACPI-0291: *** Info: Table [DSDT] replaced by host OS
    ACPI-0227: *** Error: Invalid signature where RSDP indicates 
RSDT/XSDT should be located
    ACPI-0103: *** Error: acpi_load_tables: Could not load RSDT: 
AE_BAD_SIGNATURE
    ACPI-0133: *** Error: acpi_load_tables: Could not load tables: 
AE_BAD_SIGNATURE
ACPI: Unable to load the System Description Tables


Could you help me ?
