Thanks - please reping when something goes into the tree.
For clarification, did this mainboard function better in etch?
My concern with removing a blacklist in a stable release is that it
may cause a regression on systems with BIOS versions that do need the
blacklist so, as you noted, hopefully there's a way to only blacklist
the versions affected.
