Hi everyone,

I just have read this:

http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Booting-Linux-using-UEFI-can-brick-Samsung-laptops-1793958.html

And I also found this:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557

It seems that kernel's drive "samsung-laptop" can brick Samsung laptops,
when trying to boot using UEFI.
It happens on Ubuntu... Can anyone tell me how it is on Debian? Does
Debian's kernel use this driver too?

Thanks.
