We now have runtime initrd dsdt support... so: - download the dsdt file (and save it to a shorter name (just to make it easier)) ex: d600.asl.gz - regenerate your initrd with the '--dsdt=name_of_patch' switch or to take an exmple of my current kernel... (presuming you are in the same directory as your dsdt file) mkinitrd -f --dsdt=d600.asl.gz /boot/initrd-2.4.22-12.tmb.1mdk.img 2.4.22-12.tmb.1mdk rerun lilo and reboot -- Regards Thomas
