acpi= [HW,ACPI,X86,ARM64]
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
Format: { force | off | strict | noirq | rsdt |
copy_dsdt }
force -- enable ACPI if default was off
off -- disable ACPI if default was on
noirq -- do not use ACPI for IRQ routing
strict -- Be less tolerant of platforms that are not
strictly ACPI specification compliant.
rsdt -- prefer RSDT over (default) XSDT
copy_dsdt -- copy DSDT to memory
For ARM64, ONLY "acpi=off" or "acpi=force" are available
See also Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt, pci=noacpi
I would try off first and see if that does things. The 327 has a large
amount of backports from I think 4.0 kernel so I expect that the
hardware is saying things which are not there are. There isn't much
which can be done to fix that...
