Abstract
An information handling system may include at least one processor; a memory; a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS); and an embedded controller. The embedded controller may be configured to: collect information regarding a boot process of the information handling system; determine, based on the collected information, that a boot loop event has occurred; and apply a remediation to the information handling system to prevent the boot loop event from recurring.
Claims18
An information handling system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- a memory;
- a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS);
- and
- an embedded controller;
- wherein the embedded controller is configured to:
- collect information regarding a boot process of the information handling system;
- determine, based on the collected information, that a boot loop event has occurred;
- and
- apply a remediation to the information handling system to prevent the boot loop event from recurring.
A method comprising, in an information handling system including a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) and an embedded controller:
- the embedded controller collecting information regarding a boot process of the information handling system;
- the embedded controller determining, based on the collected information, that a boot loop event has occurred;
- and
- the embedded controller applying a remediation to the information handling system to prevent the boot loop event from recurring.
An article of manufacture comprising a non-transitory, computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions thereon that are executable by an embedded controller of an information handling system, wherein the information handling system includes a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) and the embedded controller, the instructions being executable for:
- collecting information regarding a boot process of the information handling system;
- determining, based on the collected information, that a boot loop event has occurred;
- and
- applying a remediation to the information handling system to prevent the boot loop event from recurring.
