From bdfe6b7c681669148dae4db27eb24ee5408ba371 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shaohua Li Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2008 21:28:41 -0700 Subject: pm: acpi hibernation: utilize hardware signature ACPI defines a hardware signature. BIOS calculates the signature according to hardware configure and if hardware changes while hibernated, the signature will change. In that case, S4 resume should fail. Still, there may be systems on which this mechanism does not work correctly, so it is better to provide a workaround for them. For this reason, add a new switch to the acpi_sleep= command line argument allowing one to disable hardware signature checking.
