Just to save some type of Acer buggy bios. I'm not for. please remove that feature. or at least be kind enough to post the result of the discussion! #2: Jon Nelson (jnelson-suse) (2011-11-12 23:37:57) (reply to #1) Correct. Forcing these params is /wrong/ for the majority of computers out there. Besides, it appears as though a fix for this has just appeared in the last few days. + #3: Joseph Mitzen (duncreg) (2011-11-13 01:57:10) (reply to #2) + Phoronix's articles lend the impression that the vast majority of + boards reporting no support do actually support the feature, in + contrast to the claim here to the contrary. They even have a list of + several DOZEN motherboards that incorrectly report not supporting ASPM + when they do. I don't know where the first commenter's idea this is + simply an Acer problem comes from. + You are correct that patch(es) have just appeared that seem able to fix + this. Hopefully, they'll be backported to OpenSUSE 12.1. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312962
