Chris, is there a BIOS update available for your platform?

You mean the EFI firmware update? Nope.

Do you think loading linux via EFI instead of boot camp (BIOS) will help?


...only if the EFI boot process hands Linux a correct (i.e. complete) DMAR table. I suspect native EFI and legacy BIOS boot would still end up passing the same table, but I don't know for sure.
