README file for http://aibohphobia.org/aao/

This directory contains .deb kernel and kernel header images compiled for debian based distros installed on an Acer Aspire One netbook. Along 
with the images you will find a copy of the config file used to generate the kernel. 

Feel free to use either the kernel images themselves, or the config file as you choose. Neither comes with any warranty of fitness for purpose.

Details of why I built the kernel, and its likely usability to you may be found here:

Please note that you will need to make the following two changes to your system to get the pci hotplug module working correctly:

- add "pciehp" (without the quotes) to the end of /etc/modules to get the module to load.

- create a new file in /etc/modprobe.d (I called mine acer-aspire.conf) to include the line options "pciehp pciehp_force=1" (again without the quotes).


Enjoy.

Feedback by email to acer[at]baldric.net would be appreciated  - particularly if you can get the damned sony memorystick module to actually work.
