ABSTRACT:
Methods, apparatus, and computer-readable media are provided for ensuring compatibility between an operating system and a BIOS redirection component. According to one method, in conjunction with the execution of the BIOS redirection component, a determination is made as to whether the operating system has allocated one or more resources of a computing system in a manner that indicates that a conflict between the BIOS redirection component and the operating system may occur. If the operating system has allocated resources in a manner that indicates that a conflict may occur, computing resources utilized by the BIOS redirection component may be preemptively released in a manner likely to eliminate the possible conflict.
