http://www.zdnet.com/article/intel-were-ending-all-legacy-bios-support-by-2020/ This article seems very unfortunate, it might be that LegacyBIOS can have been purged on your machine. You might want to look it up, there must be some discussions for Linux in general on the Yoga 920 who wants to use LegacyBIOS, so you should be able to find a discussion if you dig long enough after it in the search engines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
