ABSTRACT:
During start-up of an advanced configuration and power interface computer system, a resource lock value is read from nonvolatile memory. If the resource lock value indicates system resources are to be locked, possible configuration setting data associated with motherboard input-output devices, is not loaded into memory at a location known to the operating system. If the resource lock value indicates system resources are not to be locked, possible configuration setting data is loaded into memory at a location known to the operating system.
