<PRE>re:

In which case won't pre-Windows 8 versions of Windows fail to boot?
Can you quote a source w.r.t. ASUS & Gigabyte situation, please?
A. My responses from: (See also ref to relevant lwn discussion at tail
of this)
(Have I over-interpreted their replies: you judge)
1. ASUS (The actual motherboard mentioned was just one of their new
UEFI ones I selected to keep the website happy)

Subject : <TSD> Motherboard SABERTOOTH X79
[Product Information]
*Product Type : Motherboard
*Product Model : SABERTOOTH X79
<snip>
[CPU Specification]
*CPU Vendor : intel
*CPU Type : 2011
*CPU Speed : 3.3

*Operating System : Linux
[Problem Description]
We are looking at buying motherboards based on the Intel 2011 pinout,
for use with
linux.. You use UEFI. Do you provide a way to disable secure boot to
enable us to
boot any linux or other operating system of our choice? How do you
implement this?
With thanks,

And a further response from ASUS:
Dear Valued Customer,

Dear Andrew,
Thankyou for the prompt reply. Unfortunately you didn't answer my
question about
UEFI at all.
I am asking about _all_ your Intel 2011 pin-out boards.
I ask again, does your UEFI have a way to turn off secure boot?
Alternatively, have you
set it up so it will only boot Microsoft software?
Do you have any Intel 2011 boards with a UEFI where the user can turn
off secure
boot? Which models?
Thanks for your time
Regards,
