Subject: [PATCH] x86: alternative identifier for Phoenix BIOS
Date: Sat, 15 Nov 2008 16:42:32 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <491EEDE8.5080508@gmx.de> (raw)
My laptop (a Samsung X20) contains a Phoenix BIOS and would benefit from
patch 1e22436eba84edfec9c25e5a25d09062c4f91ca9 (x86: reserve low 64K on
AMI and Phoenix BIOS boxen).
However, according to /sys/class/dmi/id/bios_vendor, the BIOS identifies
its vendor as "Phoenix Technologies LTD" (sans the comma).
This patch adds the approptiate identifier to the bad_bios_dmi_table in
arch/x86/kernel/setup.c.
The patch compiles cleanly and has been tested successfully on my machine.
