Thanks. But the file looks more like a list (and indeed it says so: "The
following is a consolidated list...") than the fine documentation we
love to flame clueless newbies with. For example, it doesn't explain
what "idle=" is supposed to do or what options to pass to it (on/off? 60
[milliseconds]?).
grep -i IDLE /usr/src/linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
idle= [HW]
Maybe it's google time.
