I've seen the page http://www.intel.com/technology/IAPC/acpi/bios_override.htm but could not download the ad.exe utility. The link seems to be broken. Is there an other way to disassemble th DSDT ?
(See steps #3 and #4) As a user do this: 1) mkdir /tmp/acpi && cd /tmp/acpi 2) cat /proc/acpi/dsdt > dsdt.dat (root power needed here) 3) build people.freebsd.org/~takawata/pacpidump.tar.gz (modify the Makefile to build on linux) 4) ./pacpidump/acpidump > dsdt.asl (need root power here) 5) fix dsdt.asl (this is specific to your individual problem) 6) unpack www.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads/iasl-linux-20020725.tar.gz 7) ./iasl-linux-20020725/iasl -tc dsdt.asl (Compilation complete. 0 errors 0 warnings) 8) cat linux-2.4.18.tar.bz2 | bunzip2 | tar -xvf - 9) cd linux 10) zcat ../acpi-20020726-2.4.18.diff.gz | patch -p1 (looks clean) (from www.sf.net) 11) cat ../linux-2.4.18-acpi-20020709-dsdt.patch.bz2 | bunzip2 | patch -p1 (looks clean) (from dude.noc.clara.net/~faye/compaq2701ea/linux-2.4.18-acpi-20020709-dsdt.patch.bz2) 12) cp -a ../dsdt.hex drivers/acpi/tables/acpi_dsdt.c 13) follow standard kernel building procedures (http://www.cpqlinux.com/kernel.html) Sincerely, Richard Black http://www.cpqlinux.com http://www.geocities.com/rlcomp_1999 http://www.compaq.com/linux P.S.
