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. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
