Hi,
During bootstrapping, bios provides services like video ,hard
drive services, memory sizing, PCI table to linux kernel.
After uncompression of kernel , Does linux kernel have any
interaction with bios?
I know that most of work is done by linux device driver.
What is dependency of running linux on bios ?
Thanks in advance,
