Greetings,
I'm new to this project :) I've found it, while looking trough google for something that let me boot from usb.
I would like to try the linuxbios on my notebook, but I need to be rasonable sure to do not make my computer unworking. So I will need your help to undestain if it is supported or not. (Of course I've read the compatibility list. no notebook mainboard appears, but the chipset looks like to be supported)
I've a notebook hp pavilion zd 7050ea. Here is the output of lspci and cpuinfo:
