-<h3><a name="o_apm">Kernel Options: apm</a></h3>
-
-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<br><br>
-
- <em>apm=off</em> -- switch off APM completely<br><br>
-
-Some very new computers may benefit more from the newer

-<h3><a name="o_acpi">Kernel Options: acpi</a></h3>
-
-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:<br>
-<br>
- <em>pci=noacpi</em> -- do not use ACPI to route PCI interrupts
- <em>acpi=oldboot</em> -- only the parts of ACPI that are relevant
-for booting remain activated<br>
- <em>acpi=off</em> -- switch off ACPI completely<br>
- <em>acpi=force</em> -- switch on ACPI even if your BIOS is dated
-before 2000<br>
-<br>
-Especially on new computers, it replaces the old
-<a href="#o_apm">apm</a> system.

-<h3><a name="o_ide">Kernel Options: ide</a></h3>
-
-IDE is, unlike SCSI, commonly used in most desktop workstations.
-To circumvent some hardware problems that occur with IDE systems, use the
-kernel parameter: <br><br>
-
- <em>ide=nodma</em> -- switch off dma for IDE drives<br>
