Without this, the test will run, but you will be unable to alter the configuration." - How does a CSM provide keyboard input to an EFI application? Or does this mean with CSM enabled, we'd use the BIOS version of the memory tester; and with CSM disabled, we'd use the UEFI version of the memory tester? - As far as I'm aware, enabling CSM requires disabling UEFI Secure Boot. * Any UEFI memory tester needs to be signed with Fedora's signing key, same as grubx64.efi so that it works with UEFI Secure boot enabled. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
