In BIOS we have a workaround for the keyboard bug. Was there any other kind of trouble? > The other thing I noticed is, while running grub2-efi, the fan goes on > to max speed/noisyness.

Does this device have an AT keyboard? Our keyboard driver has the same bug, too, but at least we can fix it ;-) -- Robert Millan I know my rights; I want my phone call!
