Subject: [PATCH] Improve acpi_dbg_level= documentation
Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2007 12:21:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200704181221.37897.ak@suse.de> (raw)
First it was documented twice.
Since this is a fairly important option document it properly.
I kept myself looking for this information again and again.
In particular the individual bits are fairly important. And add some
warnings.
