+> "Booting Linux using UEFI just once on various Samsung laptops is enough to permanently stop them working. Several reports have been posted on the Ubuntu bug tracker, but the problem is likely to also be present in other Linux distributions, as it appears to be caused by a kernel driver for Samsung laptops. Kernel developers are currently discussing a change which would disable the driver when booting via UEFI."

+Well, sort of... but it's not so "critical" as we dont support UEFI
+Installs / boots OOB so far, so people have to to many things manually
+to boot in UEFI mode.
+
+Nevertheless it is fixed upstream in 3.8-rc6, so cauldron/mga3 will be
+safe after I upload 3.8.0-0.rc6.1.mga3 (probably tonight)...
+
+And for mga2 it will be fixed in upcoming upstream 3.4.30.
