Wrong BIOS is pretty fundamental -- the BIOS could have messed up many undocumented (and possibly write-once) register settings etc. The kernel can work around slighly broken ACPI tables or things like that, but if, say, undocumented write-only north bridge registers are wrong, not much we can do about that. Really you better just get the right BIOS on the board. - R. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
