Hello Peeps,

I can see that this topic is a mixture of joy and pain. :D + :(
It looks like ASUS BIOS' are sussed but other mobo's are more hit an miss to be polite :wacko:

I would like to thank Kabyl for all his hard work, research and sharing of his bios knowledge.
I haven't been able to test the bios he gave me yet and have been slightly put off by the recent bad flashes!

At  the moment, all this bios knowledge is within one persons head and it  is not fair to put all the pressure on Kabyl for getting this right.

Therfore,  I think we have reached a critical point where we need to work together  more closely and start a new topic to disucss the more tehcnical side  of bios modding.

for instance, we need to understand the  different vendor bios in more detail and also which tools (and  versions) are needed to modify them. This will provide greater  transparency (where have i heard that bull$%^" before!!!) for the blind  flasher!

The result of this could mean that when a modded bios  is posted, we could include more detail, so instead of just xyz mod.zip  link, it could be more descriptive, and show the whole process in the  order in which it was carried out.

hardware platform - motherboard name, revision info etc.
orignal bios = filename.rom + live link + checksum
modded bios = filename.rom + live link + checksum
changelog:-
ACPI (changed xyz to xzy using program x)
Sound ID (changed ddd to ggg using "")
Other mods done by .....
bios verified using.......

This  way it would allow others to try the mod themselves and compare their  results against others, double checking the mods in the process....
also, it would be good if checksums were included with archives as well.
Maybe we should implement a 2 person approval for any new bios!!
This way we are forced to learn all this stuff even if we dont like it!!!
I  have finished ranting now. Please can you more mechanically minded  individuals get to together to make bios modding more succesful :dance_24:
I quote the requests, so, that includes enough info about the laptop/board, also the file name includes the BIOS version/revision.. checksums are now included in the last 2 BIOSes (and will be from now on).
As of the change logs, I think anyone interested can compare the original and the modified one.

Thanks.

Thanks for the new info Kabyl.

What tools did you use to make the bios edits? ACER laptops have some serious ACPI issues that have been fixed under linux (http://acpi.sourcefo.../dsdt/index.php) and using pre-patched DSDT through the bios could help fix a number of issues.

Same here, read this post.

I don't know, maybe we need new tools for BIOSes used in the latest MSI boards, I'm still trying to find a solution..

Previous modified BIOS can enable duo cores function of MSI PR600, but mine will be interfered by its Natit.kext for X3100 Graphics. It also does improve Xbench 1.3 scores after booting with cpus=1. Thanks anyway, keep on your development and improving in this direction !

KabylI have sent you the system.log for my MSI PR600 when it's booted with cpus=2 and it always freezes just after LOGIN WINDOWS and before into X3100 Graphics. So I guess it's interfered by my Natit.kext which's used for activation of Intel X3100 Video Graphics (internally bundled).Am I right ?
