I have something like that on my Motorola Milestone Android Phone. |
| 9 |
It is not possible to change the kernel because the bootloader is signed |
| 10 |
and only loads signed kernels. The "BIOS" of the phone is signed so that |
| 11 |
you can't change the bootloader. |
| 12 |
Milestone is out for about 2 years now, many smart people tried to hack |
| 13 |
it but till now no luck and it does not look like it will be hacked ever. |
| 14 |
I fear that something like that will come to most laptops and many ready |
| 15 |
built desktop computers in a few years. It will likely still be possible |
| 16 |
to buy mainboards without it, for a high prize I also fear. |
