We work around it but is the BIOS not the culprit in such cases? I am not saying that GNU won't load on these machines.
GNU will not load on *any* machine - you need a kernel for that
As a matter of fact, GNU *does* load, and I happen to use a couple of such machines.
You didn't get it,Kenneth is differentiating between GNU which is the Application layer and Linux which is the kernel,but now let's not get into flamewar territory.
I got only one entry: easwarh@l1nuxr0cks:~$ dmesg|grep MSFT [ 0.000000] ACPI: DSDT (v001 ATI AWRDACPI 0x00001000 MSFT 0x0100000e) @ 0x00000000 easwarh@l1nuxr0cks:~$
What does that mean?
