From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm not sure what you mean by "checking the ROM"...
Hello . I mean, how do I know that there are blob objects embedded in the ROM, without which my laptop won’t turn on, I mean
mrc.binPreviously I could check this using the command:
./cbfstool grub_t440pmrc_12mb_libgfxinit_corebootfb_usqwerty.rom printOh you can still do that. The path changed to
elf/cbfstool/[TREE]/cbfstool(replace[TREE]with the tree concerened). Note that since the switch to the libre RAM init code,mrc.binis not included anymoreI installed the updated version 20240612 everything worked as you said. Checking nothing as in the previous instructions does not give anything, as you wrote: after switching to the libre RAM initialization code
mrc.bin no longer turns on.Now i need to edit
grub.cfgbecause I get an error with searching for the achi1 disk
