Hi, on my notebook, if I want to use the battery status via ACPI, I must
rebuild the kernel with a custom AmlCode[] struct.

I have take the info from:
http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/index.php
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Fix_Common_ACPI_Problems#3._Build-in_Options_for_Kernel_2.6.9_and_Later

These are the .config changes:
# diff .config configs/kernel-2.6.12-i686-smp.config
0a1
> # i386
3,4c4,5
< # Linux kernel version: 2.6.12-1.1398_FC4_acpi_smp
< # Sun Jul 31 11:21:51 2005
---
> # Linux kernel version: 2.6.12.2

< CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT=y
< CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE="/usr/src/linux/\
ACER-Aspire_1672WLMi-1.09-custom.hex"
317c316
< # CONFIG_STANDALONE is not set
---
> CONFIG_STANDALONE=y
1996d1994
< # CONFIG_DVB_AV7110_FIRMWARE is not set

My question is:

Is possible to setup this custom AmlCode[] kernel structure whitout
rebuild the FC kernel?

Many thanks.
