++ACPI Custom DSDT read from initramfs
++
++2003 by Markuss Gaugusch < dsdt at gaugusch dot org >
++Special thanks go to Thomas Renninger from SuSE, who updated the patch for
++2.6.0 and later modified it to read inside initramfs
++2004 - 2007 maintained by Eric Piel < eric dot piel at tremplin-utc dot net >
++
++This option is intended for people who would like to hack their DSDT and don't want
++to recompile their kernel after every change. It can also be useful to distros
++which offers pre-compiled kernels and want to allow their users to use a
++modified DSDT. In the Kernel config, enable the initial RAM filesystem support
++(in Device Drivers|Block Devices) and enable ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_INITRD at the ACPI
++options (General Setup|ACPI Support|Read custom DSDT from initrd).
++
++A custom DSDT (Differentiated System Description Table) is useful when your
++computer uses ACPI but problems occur due to broken implementation. Typically,
++your computer works but there are some troubles with the hardware detection or
++the power management. You can check that troubles come from errors in the DSDT by
++activating the ACPI debug option and reading the logs. This table is provided
++by the BIOS, therefore it might be a good idea to check for BIOS update on your
++vendor website before going any further. Errors are often caused by vendors
++testing their hardware only with Windows or because there is code which is
++executed only on a specific OS with a specific version and Linux hasn't been
++considered during the development.
++
++Before you run away from customising your DSDT, you should note that already
++corrected tables are available for a fair amount of computers on this web-page:
++http://acpi.sf.net/dsdt . If you are part of the unluckies who cannot find
++their hardware in this database, you can modify your DSDT by yourself. This
++process is less painful than it sounds. Download the Intel ASL
++compiler/decompiler at http://www.intel.com/technology/IAPC/acpi/downloads.htm .
++As root, you then have to dump your DSDT and decompile it. By using the
++compiler messages as well as the kernel ACPI debug messages and the reference book
++(available at the Intel website and also at http://www.acpi.info), it is quite
++easy to obtain a fully working table.
++
++Once your new DSDT is ready you'll have to add it to an initrd so that the
++kernel can read the table at the very beginning of the boot. As the file has
++to be accessed very early during the boot process the initrd has to be an
++initramfs. The file is contained into the initramfs under the name /DSDT.aml .
++To obtain such an initrd, you might have to modify your mkinitrd script or you
++can add it later to the initrd with the script appended to this document. The
++command will look like:
++initrd-add-dsdt initrd.img my-dsdt.aml
++
++In case you don't use any initrd, the possibilities you have are to either start
++using one (try mkinitrd or yaird), or use the "Include Custom DSDT" configure
++option to directly include your DSDT inside the kernel.
++
++The message "Looking for DSDT in initramfs..." will tell you if the DSDT was
++found or not. If you need to update your DSDT, generate a new initrd and
++perform the steps above. Don't forget that with Lilo, you'll have to re-run it.

++ help
++ The DSDT (Differentiated System Description Table) often needs to be
++ overridden because of broken BIOS implementations. If this feature is
++ activated you will be able to provide a customized DSDT by adding it
++ to your initramfs. For now you need to use a special mkinitrd tool.
++ For more details see <file:Documentation/dsdt-initrd.txt> or
++ <http://gaugusch.at/kernel.shtml>. If there is no table found, it
++ will fallback to the custom DSDT in-kernel (if activated) or to the
++ DSDT from the BIOS.
++
++ Even if you do not need a new one at the moment, you may want to use a
++ better implemented DSDT later. It is safe to say Y here.
