------- Comment #69 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2008-08-19 18:10 ------- Hi, Dionisus Thanks for caring this issue. In fact when no option is added, OS will try to use mwait for CPU C-states. Only when the laptop falls into the dmi check table or mwait is disabled in BIOS, mwait will be disabled for CPU C-states. IMO it is inappropriate to add the boot option of "idle=mwait". After this boot option is added, maybe we will think that mwait is always used for CPU C-states. In fact on some systems the mwait is disabled in BIOS(BIOS returns the C-state that doesn't use mwait). It sounds not reasonable. Will you please send the patch in comment #63 to linux-acpi mail list if you don't want to add the option of "idle=nomwait"? ( I ACK it).
