I tried copying all of the directories with "acpi" and a few .h files
as well (from 2.6.19-rc5) . This is what I get:
[skipped]
I asked if copying of single file helps... I didn't ask you to copy all
acpi files two kernel releases back and make it work...
If there is a relatively simple way to get this to work. Let me know.
Copy one file: drivers/acpi/ec.c
Otherwise I'll just leave it, and hopefully in a year or so I'll be
able to upgrade.
Ok.
Thanks,
Nigel.
