+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.
