Phoronix: Linux 3.4-rc5: Annoying, But Not Hugely Scary

I think they should get their asses in gear for efi support. within a few months EFI devices will flood the market and its support still blows donkey chucks.

Another EFI point, though this one reflects more on the incompetence of Canonical:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ux/+bug/721576

Kernel panic on reboot with EFI. Canonical adds a mention of that in the release notes, and because of that *marks the bug as fixed*. Way to go.

The bug was only marked fixed under the Ubuntu Release Notes task. It is still open for the kernel.
