Hello, All I am new to the list and to Fedora also, having come from the Linux of SUSE. SUSE has broken a lot of things in 9.2 I have a lovely setup of fc3 on my Dell I8600 laptop. However, to accomplish ACPI S3 suspend/resume it needs to have the DSDT replaced. In the past, I have used SUSE's in-built mechanism that is based upon the work that can be found at http://gaugusch.at/kernel.shtml , or applied the patched to be found there to vanilla kernels. Now, if I apply the patches to a Fedora kernel, they apply OK, the kernel compiles OK, and with the unchanged initrd, the kernel boots OK. However, as soon as I introduce the DSDT image into the initrd, the kernel seems to be unable to load it, so panics because it cannot load the module for the root fs. I have done this dozens of times before, but it is only fc3 that has failed me. I have an ext3 root partition (don't ask ;-) so tried to kludge the problem by compiling in static ext3 support, but still no boot. (Actually, it won't boot with ext3 static and *no* DSDT in the intitrd!) Has anyone found any way to use a custom DSDT with fc3? Alternatively, I have been told that a vanilla kernel won't allow fc3 to work (maybe untrue?) but if this is right, what is the minimum set of patches that I need apply for use in a single-disc, non-RAID workstation that is not likely to be exposed to any non-friendly networks? Ta, Alistair
