Hi All,

With acpi_osi=Linux, which dmesg suggested, I got something changed in the dmesg output(I just listed out the most important things):


diff !Linux Linux

It seems with acpi_osi=Linux, it mainly made the two processors equals in BogoMIPS and made a PCI device window available.

I am not so familiar with ACPI, so can you tell me what is acpi_osi=Linux used for, and why it made such changes above? Thank you!
