Hi all,
I am trying to debug and fix a very annoying bug in UEFI (AMI Aptio V) of my ThinkStation P320.
Since the machine is going to be headless I removed the graphics card which saves me 13W in idle.
By modifying the Setup NVAR I was able to enable Serial Console Port Redirection.
With graphics card inserted I see the POST screen on serial console and can react to errors like "Checksum error. F1 to enter setup, F2 to resume."
(There is no need for attaching a monitor. The card just has to be inserted.)
[attachment=13855]
Without graphics card I only get some of the output via Serial and the system does not react to F1/F2/<whatever>.
Looks like everything from the modules PostScreenInfo and ErrorMessage is missing.
[attachment=13856]
Without graphics card, when there is no error, I am even able to enter setup.
[attachment=13854]
Is there anyone with an idea about what is wrong here and how I can solve that?
Best regards
Michael
