STATUS on AmiloA: Current Bugs
- To be fixed :
- * IRQ-11
- * ACPI : no wake up, suspend to disk, lid switch …
- * Modem : works once intialized by windows

It would be good to have a “AmiloA” optimized config files, isn't it ?
Fell free to improove mine : @ http://rzr.online.fr/docs/comp/#config-2_6_9-amiloa.txt
Put your versions online or at : @ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amilo/files
I just compiled it for Debian (see after):

QUESTIONS
- Graphics : did build the perfect kernel X combination for 3d (DRI), Acpi, eth and dvd ?
- Sound : midi ? it seems to be disabled for me ( /dev/sequencer )
- Modem : how to make it work ? which driver to use ?
- How comes that ext ps2 Mouse or keyboard lock X ?
- Power Management : how to optimise this ? how to toggle screen on standby ? cpufreq , etc ?
- What other os are working on it (including windows beside preinstalled fujitsu edition of win XP home)

btw, I think KDE Desktop is not the best choice for saving RAM I suggest to use http://www.xfce.org/ it my best comprise beetween weight and accessibily
- prelink
- libc686
- xfce4 is a decent Desktop env

NOW I'M SURE THE DSDT IS BUGGY.
Modifying the dsdt. I'll get thomas' modified dsdt table and see what differences there are with mine (hope he put some useful remarks inside the file).
Modified my dsdt, but only removed compilation errors (didn't move irqs yet)
USB
Boot on USB is supported if internal HDD is not found
[[AmiloA]] [[BIOS]] 1.09 : Solving compilation errors in the DSDT
I solved them as Thomas did, except for one, which I solved differently, AND IT IS IMPORTANT :
dsdt-original.dsl 730: Return (Local0) Error 1013 - Method local variable is not initialized ^ (Local0)
Here is the faulty code :
Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized)
{
Name (RTLU, ResourceTemplate ()
{
IRQ (Level, ActiveLow, Shared) {}
})
CreateWordField (RTLU, 0x01, IRQ8)
Store (PIRU, Local1)
Store (DerefOf (Index (IXLT, Local1)), IRQ8)
Return (Local0) //*** HERE IS THE ERROR ***
}
Thomas, following DSDT howtos, put :
Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized)
{
Name (RTLU, ResourceTemplate ()
{
IRQ (Level, ActiveLow, Shared) {}
})
CreateWordField (RTLU, 0x01, IRQ8)
Store (PIRU, Local1)
// {FIX Thomas' fix is below, I believe (added Local0).
// -Store (DerefOf (Index (IXLT, Local1)), IRQ8) //-
Store (DerefOf (Index (IXLT, Local1, Local0)), IRQ8) //+
Return (Local0) //*** HERE IS THE ERROR ***
// }FIX
}
And, it solves the compilation problem.
But the bug is still there. Now, the real fix (I promise it solves a problem, I'll tell you which one) :
Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized)
{
Name (RTLU, ResourceTemplate ()
{
IRQ (Level, ActiveLow, Shared) {}
})
CreateWordField (RTLU, 0x01, IRQ8)
Store (PIRU, Local1)
Store (DerefOf (Index (IXLT, Local1)), IRQ8)
Return (RTLU)
}
// Changed "Return(Local0)" to "Return(RTLU)". This solves a bug wich prevented // the kernel to assign the good irq to USB0 (acpi got always irq #9 however). // Here is the kernel (2.6.8.1) error message : // ACPI: Unable to set IRQ for PCI Interrupt Link (LNKU) (likely buggy ACPI BIOS). // ACPI-0201: *** Error: Return object type is incorrect [[\_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.LNKU._CRS]] (Node c11fe5e0), AE_TYPE // I found the good return value by comparing with the other _CRS functions, for LNKA, LNKB, etc...
That's it No more USB problems with the 2 inner ports ! (See my previous posts about it).
They now work perfectly, and are assigned IRQ #9 as they should be
But see : PCMCIA Conflict
Conclusions
With a custom DSDT and Kernel 2.6 (patched for use of custom DSDT), we can have DRI working without problems, and solve USB problems.
The USB “irq #9 : nobody cared” Message was a Bug in the DSDT
The DRI IRQ conflicts are solved if the PCMCIA at LNKA get the same IRQ as Radeon. It would be interesting to find out WHY…
