Compaq Presario 2100 (2133AC)

[Andrew Eager <andrew.eager-Pm7dQxmfFcgpAS55Wn97og@public.gmane.org>]

Just joined this list cos I need some help and probably have something 
to contribute!

I have just got a Compaq Presario 2100 (2133AC or DF975A) and found that 
the 2.4.21 kernel just hung when booting.
After a day of reading howtos and learning how to use the iasl compiler 
(& language... yuk), I have managed to get the machine to work by:
 - Getting original DSL, debug & recompile
 - Removing  the "PTLTD" from blacklist.c (not sure if this is right or not)
 - Loading the AML code from initrd.

I now have everything working **except** that running hwclock will cause 
the kernel to crash.
(I have to comment hwclock out of rc.sysinit in order for it to boot)

Any ideas where to look?
Assuming I get this thing to work, any use providing the new dsl code to 
the list?

Thanks

Andy.
