If we change fewer things, we may have less trouble for 6.4 and 6.5 errata. Do we know any non-UEFI capable machines with huge firmware? Does boot on BIOS machines have enough memory to handle huge firmware? > I have no clue if/how this should be handled as an errata/syspatch. I think we should include this into errata. Otherwise x280 and similar machines would not get new firmware. First we need a diff for 6.5 and 6.5. exec_i386.c is based on recent refactoring. Can we explain users to run installboot in errata description? Do they know which boot disk to give on the command line? Can syspatch handle calling installboot? Can it autodetect the boot disk device? bluhm
