Name

acpi_os_name — Fake the operating system name to ACPI.

Synopsis

acpi_os_name= name

Description

Tell the ACPI BIOS that the name of the running operating system is name . This can be useful to spoof the BIOS into thinking that Windows is running instead of Linux, which can help solve some ACPI issues for older BIOSes. As an example, use the string Microsoft 2001 to spoof the BIOS into thinking that Windows 2001 is running on the machine.
