Could anyone care to comment what these options do ? Would I be far off by saying that it disables the use of ACPI in the kernel, except for setting up the APICs and the CPUs, for which it will explicitly use the data provided by the ACPI BIOS ? Is there something I'm missing by not using ACPI ? :) best regards, Vincent PS: will test if the system still locks up soon, I hope not... - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
