Interesting. I have a ThinkPad whose (NVRAM settings I believe) still think
that Windows, another Linux, and Ubuntu are all installed on it. Only
Ubuntu is installed on it. I don't dare mess around with the UEFI settings
just yet but are there any commands/applications that will reveal what is
stored in NVRAM?

I have also heard there is a UEFI rootkit out there that targets Linux
systems. Is there a way to check for that?

BW,


Ian
