Product: kernel
Component: kernel
Summary: Misleading message when acpi disabled by bios
Version: 2.4.21-0.pre4.6mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: P2
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
When the kernel disables Acpi because the Bios is included
in the blacklist, the /var/log/messages displays something
like :
Feb 16 15:41:03 duron kernel: ACPI: Disabled via command line (acpi=off))
This is incredibly misleading. In fact the kernel test a boolean,
acpi_disabled, and presumes that if it's true, the acpi=off command line
has been set. But this flag can also be set internally.
An easy fix could be to replace the message in arch/i386/kernel/setup.c by :
Feb 16 15:41:03 duron kernel: ACPI: Disabled (command line: acpi=off, or Bios
blacklisted)
Thanks...
