A majority of our hardware does undergo testing with Linux during development, so usually these types of things are caught. Once we declare a BIOS stable it's a much lengthier process to issue future fixes however. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
