Yup it works for me but only after a kernel recompile with the DSDT patch added so that during boot the kernel looks for a new (fixed) DSDT in the initrd and loads that one. Iirc Dave was not interested in adding the patch to the kernel for support reasons so you will have to do the rebuild trick with each new released kernel. My fixed dsdt for bios <something>A23 can be found here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~pjl/dsdt/dsdt.dsl I got my crash course in how to fix this from: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=122145 The DSDT patch is here: http://gaugusch.at/ I used acpi-dsdt-initrd-v0.7e-2.6.14.patch On that page you can also find instructions how to apply the compiled dsdt to your initrd. The Intel dsdt compiler stuff is here: http://developer.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads.htm Regards, Patrick -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
