Back
Hi all,
I 'm using Redhat enterprise linux (WS 3.0) on a laptop and would like to
include ACPI support. Is there anyone who did this sucessfully?? I have
the impression that the acpi source in the WS 3.0 kernel (2.4.21-9) is
not complete.
There was already some earlier discussion on this list about recompiling
the kernel, whihc is not as easy as it used to be, because the
configuration files in the configs directory (now:
/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-9.EL/configs) are somewhat incomplete. The
solution seems to be to use 'make oldconfig ', although I did not try to
find out where this takes its configuration from...
When doing 'make [x|mennu]config ' afterwards, however, the ACPI support
options are not show in the configuration menu for WS 3.0 (they are in
RH8). Since most of the source seems to be there (drivers/acpi), I
included drivers/acpi/Config.in in config.in and tried again, but then I
get an error during compilation: asm/acpi.h missing. The patch list on
kernelnewbies.org seems to show that some effort was made to include
acpi. So, my preliminary conclusion is that the acpi patches are
incomplete. I tried to find an alternative patch on the acpi homepage,
but there are no patches for 2.4.21 there.
Any help is appreciated.
Best regards,
Marco.
