Description Forgotten User l03xIL5qZl 2013-07-27 09:34:16 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0

I want to add acpi_osi="!Windows 2012" on the kernel command line (see #831790), and it fails with the following error:

"Command 2012 not found"

It seems that the space doesn't make him happy. Adding it manually to grub.cfg works like a charm.

Reproducible: Always

I found a workaround.

In Yast Bootloader, instead of writing acpi_osi="!Windows 2012" you should write acpi_osi=\"!Windows 2012\"

And the double quotes are inserted in the grub.cfg.

Fixed in perl-bootloader 0.833
