Summary|An case for acpi_osi="Winows|_OSI "Linux" breaks BIOS -
|XY" overrides |Toshiba Satellite P100 MA5
------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-01-19 13:50 -------
Too late to remove "Linux" from _OSI for all systems.
There are BIOS' that depend on it today (against my recommendation)
for doing things like enabling video re-post on S3 resume.
The proper workaround for this BIOS bug is to create:
1. a boot param allowing one to delete any _OSI entry
2. a boot param allowing one to add any _OSI entry
3. a workaround for the broken Toshiba BIOS at hand
to invoke #1 with "Linux" automatically.
Today we have "acpi_osi=", which disables _OSI if no params,
and it ignores any params if they are given. This is somewhat
confusing.
Lets do this:
Remove acpi_osi=
Add acpi_osi_disable
Add acpi_osi_add=a,b,c,...
Add acpi_osi_delete=a,b,c,...
Patrick,
Please verify that you're running the latest BIOS
and attach the complete output from acpidump here for reference.
For the benefit of #3, please attach the output
from dmidecode.
