https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D216753 Bug ID: 216753 Summary: ACPI documentation needs cleaning up Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Documentation Assignee: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org Reporter: avg@FreeBSD.org Taking for instance this handbook chapter: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/acpi-overview.html I think that nowadays we can safely remove the language about APM as it is = not used anymore. Chapter 11.13.1 incorrectly states that acpi should not be compiled into the kernel while exactly the opposite is the case for the modern FreeBSD. Same chapter advises to try to disable acpi as a debugging measure, but the most likely outcome of that is an unbootable system. Generally, all the mentions of acpi.ko module should be changed to refer to= the acpi kernel device. All advice on disabling acpi and apic should be remove= d. We should change the language that describes ACPI as something new and bugg= y as nowadays ACPI is very well supported and tested. Some of that medicine should also be applied to https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?acpi as well. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
