OK, then, my concern about this patch is that you are making a compile-time decision in coreboot to fix a problem with one operating system (Windows) that will impact other operating systems that don't have the problem. I wonder if a better way to manage this is via a CMOS (aka NVRAM) setting. I kind of hate to limit coreboot because Windows is limited. But I'm a n00b in a sense, having just come back onto this project, so I'm happy to be told I'm wrong :-) ron p.s. For those who don't know me, I've been out of coreboot for 2 years, having been heavily involved from 1999 (when I started LinuxBIOS) to 2009. Changing circumstances mean I get to work on it again, which is nice. -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
