Subject: Re: [ACPI] 2.6.8 using 2.6.7 dsdt in initrd patch won't load dsdt

Hi Oisin,

since I've compiled my DSDT yesterday and load successfully,
I tell You, that with 2.6.8.1 there is an option in the kernel to load
an custom dsdt, where have to tell exactly( full path), where the dsdt
is and it was loaded successfully.

Maybe that helps You.


Regards

Ronald Hitz
