The original use of power_on_after_fail was for HPC server nodes that we wanted to power on after an external power failure without having to go to 1024 nodes and touch a button (this was a real issue at Los Alamos and IIRC the fix came from Linux NetworX). This is LONG before laptops were a gleam in our eye.
I'm not surprised that it doesn't fit the laptop use case that well. ron On Sat, May 2, 2015 at 4:44 AM Iru Cai <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > After I set CONFIG_USE_OPTION_TABLE, my laptop will power on when I plug > in the AC adapter.
