From: Jean Delvare Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2009 13:31:46 +0000 (+0200) Subject: ACPI: Clarify resource conflict message X-Git-Tag: v2.6.32-rc1~6^2~3 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=14f03343ad1080c2fea29ab2c13f05b976c4584e;p=pandora-kernel.git ACPI: Clarify resource conflict message The message "ACPI: Device needs an ACPI driver" is misleading. The device _may_ need an ACPI driver, if the BIOS implemented a custom API for the device in question (which, AFAIK, can't be checked.) If not, then either a generic ACPI driver may be used (for example "thermal"), or nothing can be done (other than a white list). I propose to reword the message to: ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should use it instead of the native driver which I think is more correct. Comments and suggestions welcome. I also added a message warning about possible problems and system instability when users pass acpi_enforce_resources=lax, as suggested by Len.
