Unlike past nvidia .run files installed “the hard way,” the 5.14 compatible nvidia versions 470.63 and 470.74 only boot with acpi=off added as a kernel parameter on one laptop computer. (As per the troubleshooting steps at: http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/470.74/README/commonproblems.html . )
This is only a minor inconvenience on this single-user laptop. I usually have to REISUB to get it to reboot, and have to press the power button to get it to shut down; sudo shutdown -h now no longer works.
But I wonder: am I cutting into the life span of some of the laptop components by using this kernel parameter? And can I expect much shorter battery life when I have to run the laptop without AC power?

Hi
Why do you need it should be the question… I suspect it may only need something like acpi_osi=! or one of the plethora of options, see https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt and review and see if can determine the exact requirement, then look at a bug report…
