You should visit the project page at sourceforge for downloading older kernel patches and the OSPMD.

Howto apply

Patch the kernel

cd <path to unpacked linux sources>
gunzip -c <path to acpi-patch>/acpi-<version>.diff.gz | patch -p1
                    

Configure the kernel

If everything went smooth you can now configure the kernel to include the drivers with make menuconfig (or your preferred way to configure the beast). Then go to General Setup -> ACPI Support and tick the options you need.

PM Tools

In case something goes wrong, you may need to download the package pmtools which contains the ACPI disassembler. You do not need the tools for regular use.
