Hi Tobias,
First, you haven't sent the correct .config file (this one is dated "Fri Mar 14 21:06:35 2008").

Oups, I took it from the wrong dir.

To fix your problem you just need to "make menuconfig" and change ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE from "n" to "".

Now the question is: how did you end up with this error? Is it just you who mistook while answering the questions of "make oldconfig" or did this "n" appeared automatically because was not ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT is set. In which case this is a bug in the kernel.

Eric

I ran make oldconfig on my config for 2.6.25-rc5, and I answered n to the question

Custom DSDT Table file to include (ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE) [] (NEW)

Somehow not putting anything didn't seem right at the time. I see my error now.
Thanks for the quick answer and sorry for the noise.
Tobias Oed
