ACPI: ibm_acpi: delete obsolete documentation
As this module is now part of the kernel tree, there is no need for instructions on how to download it and build an external module. Signed-off-by: Pavel Machek <pavel@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>hifive-unleashed-5.1

|
||||||
how to install this driver when downloaded from the web site.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
First, you need to get a kernel with ACPI support up and running.
|
|
||||||
Please refer to http://acpi.sourceforge.net/ for help with this
|
|
||||||
step. How successful you will be depends a lot on you ThinkPad model,
|
|
||||||
the kernel you are using and any additional patches applied. The
|
|
||||||
kernel provided with your distribution may not be good enough. I
|
|
||||||
needed to compile a 2.6.7 kernel with the 20040715 ACPI patch to get
|
|
||||||
ACPI working reliably on my ThinkPad X40. Old ThinkPad models may not
|
|
||||||
be supported at all.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Assuming you have the basic ACPI support working (e.g. you can see the
|
|
||||||
/proc/acpi directory), follow the following steps to install this
|
|
||||||
driver:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- unpack the archive:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
tar xzvf ibm-acpi-x.y.tar.gz; cd ibm-acpi-x.y
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- compile the driver:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
make
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- install the module in your kernel modules directory:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
make install
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- load the module:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
modprobe ibm_acpi
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
After loading the module, check the "dmesg" output for any error messages.
