==== News ====

  * 20080911 : Linux version 2.6.26-k7-amiloa-rt (2.6.26) (root@nrv) (gcc version 4.3.2 (Debian 4.3.2-1) ) #3 PREEMPT RT Fri Oct 24 18:11:22 CEST 2008


==== HowTo ====

[[Install]] [[Linux]] [[Kernel]] for [[AmiloA]] [[Laptop]] running [[Debian]]

Now find a corrected DSDT that correspond to your bios version

  * http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/amilo/files/DSDT/

copy it in /etc/

  AML=/etc/DSDT.aml
  ln -fs  $AML /etc/mkinitrd/DSDT

then

  su
  wget -O- http://rzr.online.fr/docs/contribs/sources.list >> /etc/apt/sources.list
  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-cache search k7-amiloa
  # apt-get install linux-XYZ-k7-amiloa

  KVER=$(uname -r) # 2.6.xx-k7-amiloa


  cd /boot
  INITRD_ORIG=/boot/initrd.img-${KVER}
  INITRD=${INITRD_ORIG}-${HOSTNAME}

  cp -fv $INITRD_ORIG $INITRD  # custom version that include dsdt
  echo -n "INITRDDSDT123DSDT123" >> $INITRD # start block mark ( [[DSDT]] block)
  cat $AML >> $INITRD # custom fixed table
  echo -n "INITRDDSDT321DSDT321" >> $INITRD # end block mark

  edit /boot/grub/menu.lst  # and add -${HOSTNAME} to your initrd
