Daniel, Thank you for this immensely helpful information.

If this dynamic interrupt mapping is the main thing I'm losing by using intremap=off, then I'm not too concerned because I currently do not plan on changing any of the laptop's hardware. However, if I *were* to change some hardware in the future (e.g., RAM upgrade or new hard drive), the laptop would obviously be off so presumably I wouldn't need *dynamic* interrupt remapping. Would Libreboot see the new hardware during the next boot and automatically do the interrupt mapping? I hope I would not need to make manual changes to Libreboot or to interrupt maps if I decided to make a small hardware upgrade. > Is my hardware broken? not necessarly. > Im going to have problems? probably not. Good to know! Cheers, Bruno
