M2NPV-VM to support Phenom II & Athlon II?
#61
(03-26-2010, 07:42 AM)Ace Wrote: @ free radical

hi we have successfully integrated an updated agesa and this allows any cpus upto 940BE to work and be detected properly. But any AM3 cpus with dual power plane still have incorrected multiplier detection and default to x4 multiplier.

we need to look into somehow overriding this detection bit somewhere in the bios, if you have any ideas?

Code:

Polygon from therebelshaven wrote me that PCI rom code for forcing the HTT multiplier to a set value (edit the HTT multiplier hex with the multiplier you want).

Compile it using fasm and replace your LAN boot rom.

This multiplier will take effect every time you start up your computer.

unfortunately in my case this had an undesirable effect of trouble shutting down or restarting and I had to shut down manually and start from a cold boot. ymmv

So close! Keep up the good work guys...

Hey considering you have the same mobo as me, would really appreciate if you could test too Smile
I don't have any flasher / bios recovery tool either.

Ok, here's to get you started.

This is a 100% working 1401 BIOS (tested) with only the cpucode updates and the original AGESA.

Ok. I tried again with the AGESA v3.3.2.7 from the M2N-SLI-Deluxe-5001 BIOS.

Same issue.

Ditto with an older AGESA v3.1.9.1 donated from M2N-E BIOS 1703 Sad

No change with cmos resets / disabling virtualization etc.
I still have to disable ACPI to boot into the OS.

Under a hex editor, I noticed that the headers from the AGESA version in the original BIOS and the new ones are a bit different.

Original :
Code:
U....AMD!GESA... f=IRTSu
New :
Code:
U....AMD!GESA... !!AGESA V3.1.9.1.f=IRTSu
Code:
U....AMD!GESA... !!AGESA V3.3.2.7.f=IRTSu

Hmmmm.... its beena while since I looked but if there is no MEMINIT in the original BIOS that may explain why these agesas you are ading are not working.

any way around this?
find

#68
Well im assuming that answer means there is no meminit which means that there really isn't a way around it because all those later AGESAs require MEMINIT which can't be added unless its already there. What you could try to do is we can go on a hunt for a same spec board use its bios, test it, and reimport important ASUS roms like raid etc. That's what we did for my OEM board and Im pleased as could be Smile

I expected that answer
I guess this mobo is a lost cause.

big risk crossflashing Sad
especially since I have no flasher and the bios chip is soldered

Besides, this was a one of its kind mobo for its time so its unlikely that I find a similar one.
I don't think the M2N-E SLI deluxe has much in common with it.

Unfortunatly no. I will see if I can't make headway in your AGESA version and see if there is any shot, but I think you have Crash Free BIOS right?
