<PRE>Hi,
With kernel 3.8.1 I seem to be having trouble mounting efivarfs:
[<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">root at jimmy</A> ~]# mount -t efivarfs efivarfs
/sys/firmware/efi/efivarsmount: mount efivarfs on
/sys/firmware/efi/efivars failed: Cannot allocate memory
Googleing around it looks like this problem:
<A HREF="http://www.spinics.net/lists/stable/msg01501.html">http://www.spinics.net/lists/stable/msg01501.html</A>
as I do have variables named like dump-type*.
It works fine with 3.8.0.
The above link seems to mention 3.9.x rather than 3.8.x, but I'm
wondering if the problematic patch was merged into 3.8.1 too.
Certainly the fix seems to be listed in the 3.8.3 review:

Cheers
