Abstract
Technologies are disclosed herein for launching updated firmware file system (FFS) files of an updated firmware. Original FFS files may be stored in a first firmware volume and updates to any of the original FFS files may be stored as updated FFS files in a second firmware volume. When booting up a computer system with an original FFS file and a corresponding updated FFS file, either the original FFS file or the updated FFS file may be executed based at least in part on an indication of the updated FFS file in one of either a black list or a launch list. The first time a computer system is boot up after storing an updated FFS file in the second firmware volume, the updated FFS file may be executed to determine whether the execution of the updated FFS file warrants inclusion in either the black list or the launch list.
