[DB] BIOS - ACPI - data collecting

**whitecat** · 10-19-2011, 12:43 PM

I know that "pmtools" is in Ubuntu and Debian repo too, but for other distro I don't know.

**AlbertP** · 10-19-2011, 01:39 PM

OK then it should work with Linux Mint as well.

Nice thing that here.

A short info from my Asus M4A78-E running an AMD Athlon II X4 645.

I tried the intel CD alread but to my lulz I can't boot from my new BluRay drive. I'll check that matter when I have the time and see if I can send in a dump of that, too.

I will also check a Jetway VIA C7 board and others as I find the time.

Thanks.
Motherboard for VIA CPU could be interesting too!

Exist a Linux-ready Firmware Developer Kit RELEASE 4 in the svn of the project ( http://code.google.com/p/linuxfirmwa...e/#svn%2Ftrunk ). If someone creates an iso image the data may be more useful.
