Hi there,

in the setup of 2008.06 (and I think earlier also) there was the possibility to use a custom dsdt. (you were just asked if you wanna use a custom and then you were able to tell the setup the path to the file)

I'm missing that in the new setup!?

Regards, Lukas

I also miss that, along with the option to enable LVM. I have to manually go through the config files to enable it.

Hi, I never used a custom dsdt file, don't really know how it works, so I can't answer that. I hope someone else can enlighten us what the use is and why we would (not) need it. As for the lvm stuff I don't think enabling lvm manually in rc.conf is that much of an effort. (nonetheless, it's on my todo to try to guess and pre-fill appropriate HOOKS and USELVM variables, but I consider this low prio. Feel free to send a patch for aif ;-) Dieter

I think this is about enabling LVM in the initramfs, this was automated in some version of the installer.

Well? and how do you enable lvm in the initramfs (properly)? you update the HOOKS variable in mkinitcpio.conf and run mkinitcpio. The latter is always being done, the former not (anymore?). Am I missing something? Dieter
