It only applies to the libata module, so it could be more fully documented as "libata.noacpi=1" to disable ACPI for libata. We don't usually do that in Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt, but there are a few cases/examples of doing so. Of course, that's for libata built-in the kernel image. If libata is a loadable module, it's just modprobe libata noacpi=1 or set it in /etc/modprobe.conf. --- ~Randy - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
