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.

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?

That means your Differentiated System Description Table has been

Sorry but you didn't get it. GNU is a concept, an ideology, not just an
operating system.

From that site, the first paragraph "The GNU

develop a complete Unix-like operating system which
is free
software<http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html>ml>:
the GNU system."

You need an operating system and a kernel:
either GNU + Linux (which the faithful refer to as GNU/Linux
or
GNU + Hurd (which the faithful refer to as GNU
or
*BSD
These terms have been long ago defined and accepted. Please stick to
them. (unless you are deliberately trying to create trouble - in
which case go ahead)

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
