+<p>
+ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) is a
+standard that defines power and configuration management interfaces
+between an operating system and the BIOS. By default, <em>acpi</em> is
+switched on when a BIOS is detected that is newer than from year
+2000. There are several commonly
+used parameters to control the behavior of ACPI:
+<ul>
+  <li><em>pci=noacpi</em> -- do not use ACPI to route PCI interrupts</li>
+  <li><em>acpi=oldboot</em> -- only the parts of ACPI that are relevant for booting remain activated</li>
+  <li><em>acpi=off</em> -- switch off ACPI completely</li>
+  <li><em>acpi=force</em> -- switch on ACPI even if your BIOS is dated before 2000</li>
+</ul>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Especially on new computers, it replaces the old

+
+<p>
+APM is one of the two power management strategies used on current
+computers. It is mainly used with laptops for functions like suspend
+to disk, but it may also be responsible for switching off the
+computer after power down. APM relies on a correct working BIOS. If
+the BIOS is broken, APM may have only limited use or even prevent the
+computer from working. Therefore, it may be switched off with the
+parameter
+<ul>
+  <li><em>apm=off</em>  -- switch off APM completely</li>
+</ul>
