[PATCH] Force acpi_skip_timer_override for Gigabyte GA-MA78GPM-UD2H

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

 



Some Gigabyte motherboards from the SB700 generation have an issue
where they will not boot or suspend/resume without
"acpi_skip_timer_override" on the kernel command line. I have a
GA-MA78GPM-UD2H (AM2+ socket) and the below patch allows it to boot
successfully by adding it to the quirks list (the AMD bug detection in
early_quirks.c isn't enabling acpi_skip_timer_override automatically).

https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/31/195 covered a similar issue.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/658955 is a bug
report with my system information.
