acpi.debug_level= [HW,ACPI]
Format: <int>
Each bit of the <int> indicates an ACPI debug level,
- 1: enable, 0: disable. It is useful for boot time
- debugging. After system has booted up, it can be set
- via /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level.
- CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG must be enabled for this to produce any output.
- Available bits (add the numbers together) to enable different
- debug output levels of the ACPI subsystem:
- 0x01 error 0x02 warn 0x04 init 0x08 debug object
- 0x10 info 0x20 init names 0x40 parse 0x80 load
- 0x100 dispatch 0x200 execute 0x400 names 0x800 operation region
- 0x1000 bfield 0x2000 tables 0x4000 values 0x8000 objects
- 0x10000 resources 0x20000 user requests 0x40000 package.
- The number can be in decimal or prefixed with 0x in hex.
- Warning: Many of these options can produce a lot of
