Abstract
Systems and techniques for providing one or more authenticable operating system volumes on an electronic gaming machine are provided. The systems and techniques may, for example, involve storing one or more datasets, each representing one or more operating system volumes for an operating system, on a shadow partition and then selecting one of those datasets as part of the boot process, authenticating it, and creating one or more operating system volumes on one or more operating system partitions of the electronic gaming machine. The systems and techniques may further involve causing a kernel of the operating system to execute from the newly created one or more operating system volumes only after authentication is successfully performed.
