| |
Hi Kernelistics! ;-)
I have a question: What parts of or what changes to the bios of a motherboard will survive after the boot of Linux.
Or in other words: Some boards like the ABIT IT5H support a totally software driven configuration. Even clocks, multipliers and CPU-type are set via a menu which are normally set by jumpers -- I know, that LINUX is mighty, but moving jumpers is beyond its scope, I think ... ;-)
But what will happen to such a board, if LINUX installs its own bios?
Will all that data become invalid and vanish forever?
Or am I totally wrong???
Thank you in advance for your help!
