Hi, all,
Who can tell me a general question about BIOS: how many tables exist in BIOS, which will be used by Operating System later? As far as I know, there are the IRQ table, MP table, ACPI table. Any others?
Best Regards

LinuxBIOS also has the "LinuxBIOS table", which will at some point be the base table which might allow you to create IRQ, MP and ACPI automatically. This is only a concept so far and has not even been designed, nor implemented.
Otherwise, those three table types are all you need to cope with. There is also DMI/SMBIOS, but that is not required
