How? We *know* we're deviating from the behaviour of Windows here. What we don't know is how that will affect different machines. I suspect we'll end up with a bunch of "Well, I added this boot option and then my system booted slightly faster" and have no ability to work out whether the problem's actually related. See the number of people who reported that acpi_apic_instance made a difference, or even the fact that Thomas included a bunch of systems with no real assurance that they were hit by this. A static list will eventually end up either filled with false positives or missing several machines that should be there. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- 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
