From ba84ed9546e91348fdf3ff2bff859b0ee53b407a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" Date: Sun, 26 Oct 2008 20:56:30 +0100 Subject: ACPI hibernate: Introduce new kernel parameter acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs On some machines it may be necessary to disable the saving/restoring of the ACPI NVS memory region during hibernation/resume. For this purpose, introduce new ACPI kernel command line option acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs. Based on a patch by Zhang Rui. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

But unfortunately sometimes there exists the following error when XSDT table is used: a. 32/64X address mismatch b. The 32/64X FACS address mismatch In such case the boot option of "acpi=rsdt" is provided so that RSDT is tried instead of XSDT table when the system can't work well. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8246 Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui cc:Thomas Renninger Signed-off-by: Len Brown --- Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt | 1 + arch/ia64/kernel/acpi.c | 1 + arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c | 6 +++++- drivers/acpi/tables/tbutils.c | 3 ++- include/acpi/acpixf.h | 1 + 5 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'Documentation') diff --git a/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt b/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt index c9115c1b672c..136f02842de9 100644 --- a/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt +++ b/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt @@ -139,6 +139,7 @@ and is between 256 and 4096 characters.
