LoadImage() is problematic because Fedora kernels aren't signed with a key that the firmware trusts, so the firmware will refuse to load the kernel. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
