Question about BootBlock section and other minor issues
Posted: Thu Oct 23, 2008 9:11 am
Hi,
After days of research and testing on old motherboards I finally gathered the nerves to flash my (HP Hematite, s7720.nl) / Asus A8MN-BR with another bios: the Asus M2NPV-VM bios.
I checked with asus-cbrom 1.15 and discovered that all relevant modules where present in both motherboards, allthough some file-sizes where a little different.
And I am glad that it works!!!!
I have enabled RAID striping succesfully, while this was not possible in the previous HP-dummybios
The M2NPV-VM mother has different LPC keyboard controller, but the new BIOS fortunately recognized the A8MN-BR keyboard controller anyway.
The fan controller and the sensors are not recognised, I have disabled these features in the CMOS menu.
Is it possible the install another module in the bios to fix this?
And I have another question:
I am using a PCIe - addon videocard.
The M2NPV-VM has an onboard geforce 6150.
The A8MN-BR has an onboard geforce 6150 LE.
The modules in the BIOS have a different name.
I am not sure if it is a good idea to boot without the PCIe - card.
Are the modules compatible?
Is there a way to extract / release the VGA module from the BB / BootBlock and insert another one back into the BIOS?
