Re: FSF Publishes Important Whitepaper on Secure Boot

said by markofmayhem:
Nice... but the only output that shows non-EFI is the "NFORCE 780a" part. SMBIOS is on UEFI boards as well, interfaced through UEFI's "PI". Interstingly enough, the NFORCE 780i was EFI, hardcoded in a CMS chip to provide "Legacy BIOS".

I didn't state anything about SMBIOS being or not being on one BIOS or another...again... reading past whats on the page.

Well, as I stated, I am not rebooting for you. And I forget the ADD bunch don't read, and has to have everything put on their plate:

" 8Mb AMI BIOS
- AMI Legal BIOS
- Supports "Plug and Play"
- ACPI 1.1 Compliance Wake Up Events
- Supports Jumperfree
- SMBIOS 2.3.1 Support
- CPU, DRAM, Chipset Core, PCIE Bridge Multi-adjustment"

»www.asrock.com/mb/NVIDIA ··· X3-WiFi/

It most assuredly is NOT UEFI. I don't have any thing but those nice BASIC screens for a BIOS.

Versus a board I will never touch:
"
- 32Mb AMI UEFI Legal BIOS with GUI support
- Supports "Plug and Play"
- ACPI 1.1 Compliance Wake Up Events
- Supports jumperfree
- SMBIOS 2.3.1 Support
- CPU, VCCM, NB, SB Voltage Multi-adjustment
"

»www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/Fatal1ty 990FX Professional/?cat=Specifications

I sourced that board specifically to ensure that it was no polluted then.

I have a treat for all of you, I'm not sure why this hasn't been posted elsewhere....
President of UEFI is Tony Pierce. He is a Microsoft employee with the title "Technical Evangelist" in the "Windows Hardware Group". Enjoy!

And there you have it!

And you peolpe wonder why I told you "intel" is just the front shill for this!

Proof enough of what this really is and WHO REALLY is in the drivers seat.

"AMI BIOS" means nothing... oh man, why do I bother. UEFI is underneath the "GUI" as well, has been for nearly 20 years.

My Intel board assuredly has UEFI, and yet for weeks I thought it was Ye Olde Biosse, because it looked exactly like it: traditional blue on grey characters, keyboard-driven menus, etc.

There's one little line in the setup screens which determines whether it acts like UEFI or like BIOS when it boots a disk.

Because you care, and that's why your contributions are valuable to this forum.

Disagree or not, I'd rather you kept on posting.

Cheers,
