Mandrake 10 on Presario 2100 with ACPI

[Guest YannisC]

I am having problems enabling the ACPI on my Mandrake 10 installation on a Presario 2100.

 

I tried to do put the DSDT table on the initrd file (so that it will override compaq's broken table) -- I did this on when I installed Mandrake 9 on the same machine and everything worked perfuctly! But on Mandrake 10 it seems that it is not working!

 

In order to set the DSDT table found on Berke Durak's page, I followed the instructions found on Markus Gaugush's site.

 

Yet I can't seem to make it work!

Which mandrake? CE or OE?

Which kernel version?

[Guest YannisC]

It's Mandrake 10 CE

 

I tried it with the following kernel versions:

 

2.4.25-2

2.6.3-4

2.6.3-9

 

Also there are 2 DSDT that seem to match -- the one is for Presario 2100 and the other in for Presario 2144ea (which I used with Mandrake 9.2 and work perfectly).

 

So there are something like 6 combinations ... none worked

 

In fact immediatly after the message

LILO: blah initrd=dsdt.aml

Loading *.........

BIOS check successfull

 

The screen goes blank and nothing happens.
