Re: custom dsdt with 2.5

Bruno, your patch is rejected by the 2.5.69. But thanks to your help, it's
working now. I can use my custom dsdt.
But my problem is not solve. When I try the 3 sleep state, all my peripherics
are shutted down (but I don't have the sleep LED on), but when I want to resume,
only the cdrom wakes up ! And when I try the 4 state, after the driver frees the
memory, I have a very fast (too fast to read it) message that is indefinitively
repeated. I think that it's a dump mem (something like kernel panic maybe).

How can I have this message ?
Does anyone have the same troubles ?

I changed by hand the osl.c of the kernel 2.5. I can send you a diff if 
you want. This is the few lines I changed :

#include "/my/home/dsdt.hex"

and

*new_table = (struct acpi_table_header *) AmlCode;

*ALL* acpi tables will be passed to acpi_table_override().  Therefore,
the RSDT table have been replaced by the table that you have provided.
Since that is not what you want (RSDT is not DSDT), the ACPI subsystem
can not work properly.

Do something like this:

*new_table = NULL;

if (!strncmp((strncmp(existing_table->signature, DSDT_SIG, 4))))
	*new_table = (struct acpi_table_header *) AmlCode;


BTW, I don't see any reason why you have to patch by hand osl.c and you don't
use acpi-custom-DSDT.patch instead.
Really, it look good for me.  What say

$ patch -p1 -i /path/to/acpi-custom-DSDT.patch
in the linux-2.5.69 directory ?


Cheers,
