AFAIK, this only designates the initrd to be used. The 'load DSDT from initrd' patch uses this to read the DSDT, however, this only works if you do not already have an initrd. In the latter case, the 'signature trick' must be used to append the DSDT to the existing initrd. -- Johan ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
