Windows loads an EXE from an ACPI blob. Linux does not do this, so no problem for us.
What would the implications be if you're running wine?
Hmm, at the first glance, not much. Lets look deeper: A great part of the 'infrastructure' needed do get such programs installed and running is simply 'not there'. Access to UEFI / BIOS from Wine is a no-go as far as I can see and test, and the other way round, The UEFI does not find the 'hooks' it needs to start such programs during the Linux boot cycle. Hopefully it stays that way. Wine itself does not boot, and as such the complete boot-cylce as done by MS-Win is not implemented. Hopefully the creators of "full" emulators (e.g. VMware, Virtualbox) do NOT implement such feces in their UEFI / BIOS code. - Yamaban. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
