Hi.

I said this in bug 11717, but that's valid here as well:

> Oh, BTW, I still have this Windows Vista partition here (which I want to get 
> rid of, since it is mostly useless to me, as I have not used DOS/Windows in 
> the last 17 years and I don't see any value in that, aside of 
> reverse-engineering it to make Linux work out of the box).

> What all this means is that I am willing to install some 
> development/debugging tools under Windows so that I can provide dumps, logs, 
> etc. to get the Linux kernel to work even with quiky hardware (which is, 
> unfortuately, not unheard of).

> Unfortunately, Intel's http://biosbits.org/ (which, among other things, 
> claims to be able to set the BIOS parameters to sane defaults before booting 
> a kernel) says that my Core 2 Duo system is "unknown", which means that we 
> have one fewer tool at our disposal.

> Do you happen to have any contacts with (or are one of the) people from that 
> project? I am willing to run many experiments here to get things straight on 
> this system.

> Please, note how many times I have used something like "I am willing to" in 
> the paragraphs above.

I hope that his helps in fixing (or, at least, working around) this bug.


Thanks,
Rogério Brito.
