Why use initrd? Why not allow a file name to be passed to the kernel at boot a la acpi=off, acpi=mydst.hex or whatever? Put the file in the /boot directory? Just my two pennies worth Bob On Monday 05 May 2003 07:39, Markus Gaugusch wrote:

Has anybody thought about putting the dsdt into the initial ramdisk? This would make changing/updating it much easier.I guess initrd is too late to override it...If I would mount it, probably yes. But I rather thought about the way that bootsplash uses: Scan the initrd for a magic signature and read it 'raw'. The dsdt would not be in the filesystem of the initrd, but just appended to the compressed initrd. I think that something that is early enough for bootsplash should be early enough for the dsdt as well. Markus
