Name
acpi_os_name — Fake the operating system name to ACPI.
Synopsis
acpi_os_name=
name
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.
