If I use the initrd /without/ the facp pre-pended, it boots fine.
Does your kernel with the patches from comment #65 applied boot correctly with a normal initrd?
No. relocate_initrd - in 918402.patch - hangs because (at least in my case) the kernel is /already/ in lowmem (there might also be something funky with relocate_initrd -- in any case, it's not being used here). As I noted earlier, I've extensively re-worked the patches. I have something working now. One thing to note: I seem to be able to successfully override most (if not all) of the acpi tables, *except* FACP. If I override FACP, even with the un-recompiled table, it hangs at boot. The last thing I see is the EDD... ok message. The other tables I am able to override, so far. Why might I not be able to override FACP? I hope to clean up what I've got and make it available. I resorted to using an older trick -- a "magic string" *appended* to the initrd marks the (potential) start of ACPI override tables -- this makes it easier to duplicate the tables in lowmem without causing problems freeing the initrd later. Everything seems to work except FACP. :-( Thoughts or suggestions? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
