From: David =?iso-8859-1?Q?H=E4rdeman?= To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org User-Agent: SquirrelMail/1.4.9a MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain;charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org In commit 9a9e0d685553af76cb6ae2af93cca4913e7fcd47 the ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_INITRD option was removed. I was wondering if it'd be feasible to hack grub to load a custom DSDT instead (since grub can read filesystems) and then pass a pointer to a memory location containing the DSDT to the kernel? -- David Härdeman
