Well, fooey. This patch breaks one of my ASUS machines. It appears some firmware implementations exhibit issues reading directly into a buffer above the 4GB mark. I haven't diagnosed exactly what goes wrong with the buffer (i.e. in what way it becomes corrupt), but I should really do that before thinking of how to fix this. I'll keep you posted, I just wanted to give you a heads up that things are screwy in this area. -- Matt Fleming, Intel Open Source Technology Center -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-efi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
