+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, acpi 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:
+
+ - pci=noacpi -- do not use ACPI to route PCI interrupts
+ - acpi=oldboot -- only the parts of ACPI that are relevant for booting remain activated
+ - acpi=off -- switch off ACPI completely
+ - acpi=force -- switch on ACPI even if your BIOS is dated before 2000
+
+
+
+
+Especially on new computers, it replaces the old
+apm system.
