Supported CPUs

  • 12/8-Core Opteron™ 6100 Series Family10h RevD Processors (Magny-Cours)
  • 16/12/8-Core Operton™ 6200 Series Family15h Processors (Interlagos)

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
119+0 records in
119+0 records out
60928 bytes (61 kB) copied, 0.00289354 s, 21.1 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 (119*512)


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
