!! Kernel compile

Because my HP 6830s laptop has a buggy DSDT, I have to change that. Since Linus decided that kernels no longer accept custom DSDT's I have to recompile the kernel to get this done.\\
I found a useful link here : [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1341580]

So, what I did is :
{{{
sudo apt-get install fakeroot kernel-wedge build-essential makedumpfile
sudo apt-get build-dep linux
sudo apt-get install qt3-dev-tools libqt3-mt-dev
mkdir src
cd src
tar xjvf /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.32.tar.bz2 
cd linux-source-2.6.32/
cp -vi /boot/config-`uname -r` .config
make xconfig .......
}}}

click in left pane on ACPI, and then double click in right pane on custom DSDT and fill in the fullname of your custom dsdt.\\
Then we'll continue:
{{{
export CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=3   # put both intel cores to work :-) 
time fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-some-string-here kernel-image kernel-headers | tee /home/metskem/kernel-compile.log
}}}
