Humerous that they mis-spelled the product name -- but no matter -- it became clear very quickly that I can't key off the product names on HP boxes b/c they are semi-random strings. so I'm keying off of the board name (30B8). > When I need to boot with acpi_osi, do I still need to use > acpi_os_name="Windows 2006"? No, you should never have to use acpi_os_name= under any conditions. On this particular box, the BIOS doesn't check _OS contents anyway, so any setting you use would be a NOP. re: acpi_osi=Linux ... It is a NOP also, for in the code below, OSYS is over-written by the Windows values no matter if the Linux value is set or not. thanks, -Len Device (PCI0) { Name (_ADR, 0x00) Name (_HID, EisaId ("PNP0A03")) Name (_UID, 0x01) Method (_INI, 0, NotSerialized) { Store (0x07D0, OSYS) If (CondRefOf (_OSI, Local0)) { If (\_OSI ("Linux")) { Store (0x03E8, OSYS) } If (\_OSI ("Windows 2001")) { Store (0x07D1, OSYS) } If (\_OSI ("Windows 2001 SP1")) { Store (0x07D1, OSYS) } If (\_OSI ("Windows 2001 SP2")) { Store (0x07D2, OSYS) } If (\_OSI ("Windows 2006")) { Store (0x07D6, OSYS) } } } - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
