Comment 191 for bug 1040557

Hello everybody; i recently took the time to read all the articles: i have a NP530U3C running Arch. I would now update the firmware to start use the UEFI booting. There's a way to flash the firmware without windows? as i can't find anywhere on the net the mentioned firmware. Should be safer to get a bootable windows xp media and flash from there?

A side note:

I followed others bugreports in the last few mouths discussing an ACPI bug on these samsung models:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi/+bug/971061
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44161

I would just rise the question couse i'm corious if the two things can be related
