[edit] Supported CPUs
- 12/8-Core Opteron™ 6100 Series Family10h RevD Processors (Magny-Cours)
- 16/12/8-Core Operton™ 6200 Series Family15h Processors (Interlagos)
[edit] Extract VGA BIOS
Booting Linux OS via the Proprietary BIOS, and login as the privilege user.
Select the VGA device we want to dump rom from
~# lspci | grep VGA 03:04.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G200eW WPCM450 [Hermon] - Winbond/Nuvoton (rev 0a)
Enable the expansion ROM for the Device
~# cd /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:03\:04.0 ~# echo 1 > rom
Dump the vga bios
~# dd if=rom of=/tmp/vgabios.bin 64+0 records in 64+0 records out 32768 bytes (33 kB) copied, 0.000212197 s, 154 MB/s
Disable the expansion ROM for the Device
~# echo 0 > rom ~#file /tmp/vgabios.bin /tmp/vgabios.bin: BIOS (ia32) ROM Ext. IBM comp. Video (64*512)
[edit] OS Booting
Tested with SeaBIOS 0.6.2.
- Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition SP2
- Tested with 32G Registered ECC DIMMs.
- GNU Debian/Linux 5.0
- Tested with 128G Unbuffered DIMMs
[edit] Proprietary BIOS
TODO
[edit] Other issues
- Install OS with USB DVD ROM fail with seabios-0.6.2
This bug was fixed since seabios commit 49ecf693
- 6100 series processor DRAM R/W speed not max performance
