Re: [opensuse] Strange behaviour of ACPI on laptop
Well, we can probably guess the bios from your laptop model and processor. What is the laptop, and what does it say on the screen when you open My Computer (KDE) or Computer (GNOME)? The laptop is model from a danish company called PrimeTech, and the processor is a Intel Celeron 1.4 GHz. The laptop is almost 1 years old, and I cannot the model number. But again the software in bios is from Insyde Software Corporation. Best regards Torben Frøberg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [opensuse] Strange behaviour of ACPI on laptop
I am using 2.6.18, so it is a good idea. But I havent installed/upgraded/configured a kernel for year in hand. Can I just install the rpm- package and expect everything is working? If not, can you easily give me a good link to how to upgrae the kernel. Best regards Torben Cristea Bogdan wrote: What kernel version do you have? I recommend to download the latest version, 2.6.21, from the openSuSE site: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/x86_64/kernel-source-2.6.21-10.x86_64.rpm Bogdan On 5/21/07, torben [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a laptop with a strange behaviour.

Change to the installation directory (e.g. usr/src/linux-2.6.21-8) and execute the following commands as root: make menuconfig (or xconfig) //here you should change some options in oder to match your hardware config. But first I think I need to modify grub so I can switch back to the old kernel. This point I think I can manage. Secondly, I would prefer to use the old kernel configuration as a starting point for the configuration of the new kernel. Can I somehow export the configuration of the old kernel and use it as a starting point for the new kernel? best regards Torben -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
