Yes the issue is the firmware's response to the keystroke. The intention here is to individual submit machines in future patches as they're discovered. The parameter's primary purpose is to assist in building the list. If someone reports a bug with these symptoms, they can add the parameter to their kernel command line, and report if it helps them. If it helps, their machine can be added to the DMI table. -- Mario Limonciello [email protected] -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe platform-driver-x86" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
