154196	2003-06-22 04:14:00	Hello, I`m stuck on the ACPI installation for my Laptop. I`m using RedHat Linux 8.0, I have read lots of online How-Tos for ACPI installation for Linux, but That`s all about Debian or SuSe other than RedHat. Also all the online guides need to install a new Kernel, but i would like to stay with my current 2.18.14! I have tried one patch for the kernel. I did every thing the installation told me. But I just didn`t see any sign of working. My laptop`s is still like some kind of Helicopter. Can any body help me without doing any thing too complex,coz i`m a linux newbie.	acmilanlover (4066)

However, if they recommend a particular kernel version, I would say it's not optional. ;-) You did install the kernel you compiled after installing the patches? :D And update lilo or grub, so it knew about the new kernel? :D Laptops are a problem. The standards are non-standard. :_| Good luck. You are going to become an expert. :D	Graham L (2)

Thanks, And could introduce some linux books for me, so i could learn those essential stuff for linux, like kernels, grub or lilo etc.	acmilanlover (4066)
