hi,

congratulation for your first own kernel.

IBM-ACPI needs a patch to work on 2.6.13, you can find it here:


http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/patches/release/2.6=
.13/broken-out/ibm-acpi-0.11.patch

the author of ibm-acpi seems to work on 0.12, till this is done, take
this patch

go to your linux kernel
#cd /usr/src/linux
download the patch:
wget
http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/patches/release/2.6=
.13/broken-out/ibm-acpi-0.11.patch

and do patch -p1 <ibm-acpi-0.11.patch

after this, you can use the build in ibm-acpi of your kernel(2.6.13) and
don't have to create an extra modul ;)

But compile this as module, because only this way you can activate the
experimental feature and control the fan for example(dangerous, if you
do it the wrong way!).

you load the module this way from shell:

#modprobe ibm-acpi experimental=3D1

but for starter, try this first:

#modprobe ibm-acpi

You have to  take the scripts from the ibm-acpi.0.11 package and use
them as described on ibm-acpi.sourceforge.net or in the README.

Building an operation system without source code,
is like buying a  self assemble space shuttle without
instructions.
