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
