acpi_osi=Linux identifies the OS to the BIOS helping fix power and other issues.
Not a good idea, please never do that, you will then be running BIOS code that has never been tested by the BIOS vendor.
If this is needed, please let the kernel developers know what is going wrong, we should work exactly like other operating systems and not need to tell the BIOS differently.

Only works on some machines, not others, be careful, it can lock your machine up hard.
Only enable it if you have tested that you really need it. You have been warned.

I use these so my machine would stop sounding like a vaccum cleaner. But you are the kernel geek.
Insults will get you no where.
Question now is, can we do something upstream to help the issues that these parameters correct for me and others?
Again, the first one should not be used unless your BIOS really is broken.
The second one is not enabled because, again, some BIOSes are broken and lie so we need to be safe so that your machine doesn't break, there's nothing we can do automatically to enable this to be safe so that is why it is the way it is.
greg k-h I really wish I knew why KMail likes you so much... it always tries to respond to you directly instead of the list, though it acts normally the rest of the time.
Yeah, it does look like this is the best solution for now. Any hope on some sort of upstream fix coming down? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
