Line 32:
'''Note''': The standard methods to find the RSDP may not work on UEFI systems. Because of that, finding it inside EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE is the correct and reliable method (see ACPI 6.2 section 5.2.5.2 'Finding the RSDP on UEFI Enabled Systems').
When booting with a multiboot2 compliant loader, a copy of the RSDP is contained in the ACPI new RSDP or ACPI old RSDP tag respectively.
