Abstract:
According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a determination module provided for an SMI handler of an ACPI compatible Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). The determination module determines, when a system management interrupt (SMI) occurs due to issuance of an Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) Enable command by an ACPI compatible operating system, a type of a kernel of the operating system by referring to a CPU STATE MAP area holding a state of a CPU upon occurrence of an SMI.
