https://forum.manjaro.org/t/acpi-error-on-boot-after-updating-to-4-9/12894/3 weell, this is the oddest regression "fixed" with a workaround recommended from the archlinux link on ACPI DSDT: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DSDT by setting acpi_os_name="Windows 2009" which, after disassembling the ACPI DSDT code i noted that it was slightly different handling from windows > 2012 and windows < 2009, i got a successful boot. andrew thank you for noting that /init appeared not to exist: ben also noted the same. it was (is) definitely there: lsinitramfs showed that it definitely, definitely exists. which means that the above ACPI weirdness is causing the linux kernel to *BELIEVE* that it doesn't exist. i appreciate that things are moving on at a fast pace in the linux kernel, and it's great to see support for shit-hot hardware like the stuff i managed to justify getting (8-core i7 overclockable to 4ghz, 16gb of 2400mhz DDR4 RAM, a 2500 *megabyte* per second NVMe SSD... 3200x1800 LCD and this is in a *laptop*...).... ... but i must apologise for saying this: because of its price-tag there is absolutely no fucking way in seven hells i am doing *ANY* kind of BIOS update, ACPI decompile-then-hand-edit-then-recompile strategy. i'm not even going to let the *manufacturer* do a BIOS update even if it has to ever go for a warranty repair. point is: whilst i have a workaround, it would be nice to see some of these ACPI hiccups go away. anything i can do (which does NOT involve BIOS or ACPI firmware updates) to help make that happen i'm happy to help. it's not hugely stable hardware so is rebooting every 36-72 hours anyway (s2ram hanging either on powerdown or powerup is the usual culprit), so i am fine with compiling kernels (under 20 minutes! yippee!) and trying out random stuff. l.
