[LinuxBIOS] different versions of the GA-M57SLI-S4 (PLCC vs SPI)

Some random things I noticed, not all of them critical or related to your
issue at hand:

> PCI: 00:18.0 init
> PCI: 00:01.0 init
> set power on after power fail
> RTC Init
> Invalid CMOS LB checksum

I wonder why, but probably not critical.


> PNP: 002e.1 init
> PNP: 002e.4 init
> FAN_CTL: reg = 0x02a9, read value = 0x50
> FAN_CTL: reg = 0x02a9, writing value = 0xd7
> PNP: 002e.5 init
> Keyboard selftest failed

Strange, but seems to work nonetheless (as per discussion on IRC;
it's a USB keyboard attached via an USB-to-PS/2 adapter, btw).


> PCI: 00:06.1 init
> base = fc040000
> codec_mask = 01
> codec viddid: 10ec0888
> No verb!

Critical? What does this mean anyway?

nobios unknown

The wiki suggests 'acpi_use_timer_override', too.

OK, so Linux does indeed find the keyboard, it seems.

LB related?

I think this is because of missing ACPI?
