This is a very quick and basic guide simply to get the ACPI features working, -
and most
of the others, although i have not tested them.
----------------------------------------------
to start - on red hat 8 -
sound works fine
network card works fine
firewire recognised, but i have nothing to test it
IR recognised but not sure if it works
ACPI all working - have tried suspend yet though
all else seems to work
----------------------------------------------
What you need to get your system running with ACPI:
---optional--- you can make one yourself, but this one seems to work...
My kernel config file----
here ----
---must---
2.4.20 kernel - this is just the
one i used (latest stable)
---must---
latest acpi patch
for 2.4.20 kernel
----------------------------------------------
what to do:
1. login as root (easiest way to do this)/or su in shell
2. Extract the kernel - r.click | extract here or type "tar --help" to find
command line options
3. Extract the patch - same way
4. Copy the patch to inside the extracted kernel folder
5. Open shell (terminal or konsole etc...) goto inside kernel folder
type(without speechmarks):
"patch -p1 > "name of patch""
6. Copy my config file to extracted kernel folder (if you are using it).
7. Copy extracted kernel folder (linux-2.4.20) to /usr/src/
8. In shell goto /usr/src/linux-2.4.20/
type: make mrproper
this
cleans it up
type: make xconfig
if using my config file - when
it loads, click load configuration from file.
type kconfig then click load
if you want to change anything
then do it now
click save and exit
9. type: make dep
10. type: make clean
11. type: make bzImage (takes ages)
12. type: make modules
13. type: make modules_install
14. install kernel to your particular bootloader.
hope it works!!!
