Yes, this is a good question. The real fix should be in BIOS. But, the key point is we assume Windows work, and we expect linux work too. So, we do need to avoid un-tested (by windows) BIOS code path. For this bug, maybe we didn't handle all cases to stop the execution of unnecessary AML methods/ code path. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
