>From 230e81c3440cdfc5f931755cece4f1181a3b1374 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Bader <stefan.bader@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2009 17:11:29 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] acerhdf: Limit modalias matching to supported boards BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/435958 The module alias currently matches any Acer computer but when loaded the BIOS checks will only succeed on Aspire One models. This causes a invalid BIOS warning for all other models (seen on Aspire 4810T). This is not fatal but worries users that see this message. Limiting the moule alias to models starting with AOA or DOA for Packard Bell.
