Csm ?

[BuffyBot]

Hi guys,
ive been trying to find out some details about the inner workings of the solution.
Does it use a CSM or is the bootloader and modified windows disc enough ?
Or is the bootloader classified as a CSM ?

Thanks

From what one can tell from the outside, the xom.efi module provides several BIOS interrupts, so it would be classified as a custom CSM. There seem to be quite a few more pieces to the puzzle, however.

It's a customized windows bootloader (hence having to add in NTDETECT.com, txtsetup.sif, etc to the CD), with a CSM thats just enough to boot Windows XP.

The CSM is able to reroute BIOS calls to EFI I believe.
