I didnt meant to ignore your email! yes, of course I messed around
with the BIOS on f-17. just not quite sure what I was doing. ive
got the newst Fedora 17 CD and have found the DVD ... so I'm all
set. wHether Mike's mods to the /boot directory or your suggestion
to alter the BIOS is better is a "dontcare" in engineering terms.
I just want something that *works* until this bug is fixed. until
then, this IEFI is a serious POS.
the tech I hired did the initial install; he mentioned having to
much around with "something". When i booted up my CD , I pressed
F12 and got a screen with three options. I chose the most
familiar: BIOS. I didnt see the EFI listed in the BIOS. THat
seriously may be the way to fix this problem. I dont remember
what I did in the BIOS, But it's worth a reboot!
