Cpu support asrock G41M-VS Q6600

[najime]

Hello all.

First of all sorry for my English.

I have a asrock G41M-VS motherboard and i need some help to add CPU support on the motherboard.

I got a Q6600 Quad-core thats not supported by my motherboard.

Could someone help me or add / mod a bios and add support for the Q6600 CPU?

I tried to understand microcodes but i just cant get the hang of it.

Best regards,

sSpec is SLACR, CPUID=0x06FB. BIOS 1.10 has microcode for it: version - 0xB6, date - 07/13/2007

The error string is "This CPU cannot be supported. System will shutdown in 20 seconds".
I've asked you for a photo cause you didn't gave the exact error string. But I've found it myself.

I've found interesting code in RUN_CSEG module:

Code:

7B05      cmp     al, cs:[si+4]
7B09      jz      7B12h    
7B0B      ....
...
7B10      jmps    7AD6h
7B12      popad
7B14      call    sub_7B18       ; printing the error string & halt

One byte patch is needed:

Code:

7B09      jz      7B0Bh
