Re: [pve-devel] coreboot support
1) Does the new fix something currently broken? 2) Does the new provide something useful to us which is currently not available? I the coreboot case the answers to the above to questions is: 1) No 2) No OK ;-) Thanks for testing! ___ pve-devel mailing list pve-devel@pve.proxmox.com http://pve.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-devel
