Linux supports two methods of overriding the BIOS DSDT:

Linux supports a method of overriding the BIOS DSDT:

CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT builds the image into the kernel.

CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_INITRD adds the image to the initrd.

When to use these methods is described in detail on the

When to use this method is described in detail on the

Linux/ACPI home page:

http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/acpi/overridingDSDT.php

Note that if both options are used, the DSDT supplied

by the INITRD method takes precedence.

Documentation/initramfs-add-dsdt.sh is provided for convenience

for use with the CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_INITRD method.

# Adds a DSDT file to the initrd (if it's an initramfs)

# The file will be copied as /DSDT.aml

# 20060126: fix "Premature end of file" with some old cpio (Roland Robic)

laptop_mode is a knob that controls "laptop mode". All the things that are

controlled by this knob are discussed in Documentation/laptop-mode.txt.

block_dump enables block I/O debugging when set to a nonzero value. More
