S4 on Laptop

I can’t believe it – but S4 is running (using linux-kernel 2.6.8.1) on my Sony VAIO FX602!

Disassembling the AML into an ASL-file with Intel’s IASL-compiler (part of the ACPI CA – Unix Build Environment), creating the AML in a c-hex-table and patching the linux-kernel did the trick.

I’ve documented the essential steps on my german laptop-webpage. What I have to check out in detail(!) is which daemons I have to stop, which modules should be removed and how to automate this process in best practive. But this has been a big step forward for me and my Laptop. ;-)

    Thanks for that hint. I didn’t know that it’s possible to hack the dsdt. I’m gonna try that for my notebook, too :-)
