I have successfully installed slackware 11.0 on my acer travelmate c100 using pxe boot.
But after many unsuccessful attempts to get acpi to work, I seek help.
It seems I have to patch the kernel with the acpi patch. My main reference has been from this how-to:
http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT9956715302.html
So after installing slackware 11.0, and compiling kernel 2.6.17, I tried to patch the kernel with "acpi-test-20060608-2.6.17.diff" which fail's, and produces the following output:
Code:
