1) C'est pas toujours à off pour linux, seulement avec des BIOS qui
implémente mal la feature

Windows works with buggy BIOSes because of the way it calls them.
I looked into how Windows handles the PnPBIOS and may have discovered why it
works on buggy BIOS. It turns out that exclusively realmode calls are used.
See www.missl.cs.umd.edu/Projects/sebos/winint/index2.html#pnpbios. My
knowledge is limited in this area of the x86 architecture but it is my
impression that it would not be possible, or perhaps worth it, to implement
realmode calls for the Linux PnPBIOS driver because of the time it is
initialized.
Semble que Vista ne supporte pas PNPBIOS:
