Is it correct that the only option to not use the MP tables and learn the CPU configuration would be to implement support for ACPI? For a small educational OS like xv6 or Pintos, we're aiming at keeping the codebase small, which is why so far we haven't taken this step. Is there a way to learn the CPU configuration without using ACPI that involves relatively little code? - Godmar _______________________________________________ SeaBIOS mailing list -- seabios@seabios.org To unsubscribe send an email to seabios-le...@seabios.org
