Hello,
Below is a simple patch which changes the wording of 'BIOS passes blacklist'
into something which is more clear - not being a native speaker of English I
was wondering whether 'BIOS passes blacklist' meant that my machine was
listed or not.
Furthermore, nothing is displayed in the case a BIOS /is/ listed - adding a
warning in that case seems useful to me.
