They override the bios' dsdt-table to get ACPI working. The .config file for the kernel is also very hardware-specfic, so I doubt rpms work on anything but a machine very similar to my own. (Have look at my Compaq page http://folk.uio.no/oeysteio/Compaq/) The readme.txt file in the Kernel-2.5 folder is my notes to keep track of what I've been doing with shrike-installation with regards to a 2.5 kernel. It should tell you what you need to create your own rpms/ Good luck. -- Øystein Olsen, oystein.olsen@xxxxxxxxxxxx, http://folk.uio.no/oeysteio Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics, http://www.astro.uio.no University of Oslo, Norway
