Subject: [PATCH] fix pnpbios fault message
Date: Fri, 05 Nov 2004 12:01:26 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1CQ2mU-0004xT-QX@ladymac.shadowen.org> (raw)
When your plug-n-play BIOS is truly broken and generates a fault
during use, we report this and suggest disabling it. The message
produced suggests using "nobiospnp" to achive this, the correct
option is "pnpbios=off". This patch upates the message.
