Of course we (SUSE) probably cannot support machines with custom DSDT - but we neither can support the ones with a broken DSDT that just won't work. But we can give even less support for self-compiled kernels, so the dog bites its tail. The DSDT-initrd-Patch at least gives me the possibility to tell a user "If you are really desperate, you can try to fix your DSDT and override it by doing this...". > That said, it is useful for developers to be able to override the DSDT. > There are two methods -- re-build kernel or re-build kernel and also > modify the initrd. With SUSE it is just "ACPI_DSDT=/boot/my/dsdt/file" in a config file and "mkinitrd" afterwards. -- Stefan Seyfried |
