Subject: [PATCH] ACPI: Force acpi_skip_timer_override for Gigabyte GA-MA78GPM-UD2H
Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2011 11:08:56 +1300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1321999736.3573.10.camel@nirvana> (raw)
Several Gigabyte motherboards from the SB700 generation have an issue
where they will not boot or suspend/resume reliably without
"acpi_skip_timer_override" on the kernel command line. I have a
GA-MA78GPM-UD2H (AM2+ socket) and the below patch allows it to boot
successfully by adding it to the quirks list (the AMD bug detection in
early_quirks.c isn't enabling acpi_skip_timer_override automatically).
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/31/195 covered a very similar issue.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/658955 is a bug
report with my system information.
