From aa2110cb1a7510f9b834adfb39b05d4843a35d35 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lin Ming Date: Thu, 8 Apr 2010 14:34:27 +0800 Subject: ACPI: add boot option acpi=copy_dsdt to fix corrupt DSDT Some BIOS on Toshiba machines corrupt the DSDT, so add a new boot option acpi=copy_dsdt to workaround it. Add warning message to ask users to use this option if corrupt DSDT detected. Also build a DMI blacklist to check it and automatically copy DSDT. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14679 Signed-off-by: Lin Ming Signed-off-by: Len Brown --- Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt') diff --git a/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt b/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt index e2202e93b148..93f113a1b326 100644 --- a/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt +++ b/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt @@ -151,6 +151,7 @@ and is between 256 and 4096 characters.
