i hope, this is the correct channel now, i am not suscribed.

when i programmed the cromwell ( the Bios on the Xbox)
i compared a little with the Linux-bios, to avid programming
problems.

i copy'd some sources out of the CPU init, special, the microcode
update

src/cpu/p6/microcode.c

you did a 

struct microcode *m;
m = (void *)&microcode_updates;
...

but basically, this is wrong.

it should more look like:

struct microcode *m;
m = (struct microcode *)microcode_updates;

otherwise, the compleate microcode update procedure is "sensless"

i hope, this helped you in your project, and good luck for the future
