I have downloaded the kernel.org source, applied the ACPI patch, then downloaded the debian diff.gz and applied it (a few warnings only). Then I had to rm -rf debian/ in the kernel source dir, make menuconfig and make-kpkg kernel-image. Voila, running kernel 2.4.21 with acpi AND debian patch... joerg -- Gib GATES keine Chance! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
