(Thanks to Jani for this info) Please cite concrete example. I have yet to see machine that would not power up on forced power down. In fact, I argue that such machine would be very broken, and that such machine does not exist. While we have these real machines broken: > + * Lenovo Thinkpad X301, X61s, X60, T60, X41 > + * Fujitsu FSC S7110 > + * Acer Aspire 1830T What makes you think that BIOS writers will do something different for Gen6+ hardware? X301 is not that old.
