[PATCH 12/20] ACPI: fix boot hang w/o "noapic" on MSI MS-6390-L

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@xxxxxxxxx>

This is a workaround to handle a BIOS bug where the
programmer exchanged the name and index fields of
a _PRT entry.  Apparently this BIOS error does not
confuse Windows and thus it lurks in the field
on various machines.

boot with "acpi=strict" to disable this workaround
