Subject: Re: [PATCH 12/22] ACPI: add boot option acpi=copy_dsdt to fix corrupt DSDT
Date: Thu, 20 May 2010 14:07:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100520130733.GA14895@srcf.ucam.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <aa2110cb1a7510f9b834adfb39b05d4843a35d35.1274332657.git.len.brown@intel.com>
I *really* don't think adding a new DMI blacklist is a good idea. Either
the hardware is doing something insane and Windows always copies the
DSDT, or there's method to the hardware's madness and Windows copes with
this somehow. This patch just papers over the problem and doesn't
actually attempt to work out what's really going on.
