This doesn't work for me. How can I troubleshoot the problem? I've never used 
an initrd before.
I fetched the patch and it applied cleanly. Then I compiled RAM disk support 
into the kernel and enabled initrd and ACPI initrd support. Next I copied my 
DSDT.aml file, which starts with the string "DSDT" to /boot/initrd, added 
"initrd=/boot/initrd" to my kernel append line, installed the new kernel and 
re-ran lilo. The new kernel works but it uses the BIOS' buggy DSDT and not my 
just-being-fixed altered dump of it... :-(
dmesg does not seem to show any traces of something with initrd at all...

Greetings,
