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
