Bismillah
The user describes how his new Foxconn motherboard caused his Linux
install to freeze and fire off weird kernel errors. He disassembles the
BIOS and concludes that a faulty DSDT table is responsible for the
errors. Even though the user makes Foxconn aware of the problem, they
refuse to correct it, as 'it doesn't support Linux' and is only
'Microsoft certified.' The user speculates darkly on Foxconn's motives.
"I disassembled my BIOS to have a look around, and while I won't
post the results here, I'll tell you what I did find. They have several
different tables, a group for Windows XP and Vista, a group for 2000, a
group for NT, Me, 95, 98, etc. that just errors out, and one for LINUX.
The one for Linux points to a badly written table that does not
correspond to the board's ACPI implementation.' The worst part is
Foxconn's insistence that the product is ACPI compliant because their
tables passed to Windows work, and that Microsoft gave the the magic
WHQL certification."
What a racis...
"Never Trust an Operating System You don't have the Source for..."
"Closed Source for device Driver are ILLEGAL and not Ethical... act!"
"Isn't it, MS Windows a real multitasking OS?, Why? 'Cause It can boot and
crash simultaneously!"
