Re: DSDT Problems with Acer Aspire 1691WLMi

You must have ACPI_INITRD=y in your /usr/src/linux/.config ( or
/proc/config.gz if you have enable CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC=y)

I'll need to check that, I'm not sure if I have that enabled

I put my DSDT.aml in my initrd.img that way:
----------------8<----------------
DSDT=/boot/DSDT.aml

cp initrd.img-2.6.11 initrd.img-2.6.11-ACPI
echo -n "INITRDDSDT123DSDT123" >> initrd.img-2.6.11-ACPI
cat $DSDT >> initrd.img-2.6.11-ACPI
echo -n "INITRDDSDT321DSDT321" >> initrd.img-2.6.11-ACPI
---------------->8----------------

Yes, I did that.

In a verbose dmsg, you get something like:
----------------8<----------------
ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initrd... found (at offset 4788244)!
 found customized DSDT with 27352 bytes!
---------------->8----------------

CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG has to be enable to have this message.

Will check it too.

Be aware that this won't work with a plain vanilla kernel.
You'll need the DSDT in initrd patches from:

Yes, I'm using kubuntu hoary, and I read that it has the patches on the
kernel already.

Thanks all for the help, gonna check that when I have some time.
