ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a system and method for a modular and enhanced kernel device manager (KDM). KDM is passed control during POST after Enhanced Device Initialization Manager (eDIM) has performed device initialization. KDM configures and manages all the devices enumerated by the eDIM. KDM groups these devices into Input Device, Output Device and/or Storage Device classifications and links them with proper class specific kernel (Input Kernel, Output Kernel, and Storage Kernel) through an Input Pipe, Output Pipe, and/or Storage Pipe.
