hi, why did you scrap ivt.bin loading ... seems much more complicated now. I'm not sure if I remeber right, but I think ivt.bin worked best for me ... 2009/3/26 Bean : > Hi, > > This is another update, it contains the following changes with regards > to the previous one: > > 1, Move loadbios comma

Hi, This is another update, it contains the following changes with regards to the previous one: 1, Move loadbios command to commands/efi directory. 2, loadbios support an optional second parameter which is the int10 vector dump file. 3, The linux command enables frame buffer by default, so you do

Hi, The new patch have some adjustment: 1, The loadbios code is moved out of linux.c, it's in a standalone module loadbios.mod, you could use: fakebios or loadbios /VBIOS.bin Both will fake acpi and dmi information, loadbios loads video bios rom from external file as well. 2, loadbios doesn'

Hi, svn rev 2043 patched loadrom.diff on imac81 with ati fglrx. I find loadrom needs time when called in menuentry, otherwise linux load fails or loadrom fails. So I had to use sleep. Then it works very nicely. -- insmod sleep menuentry "loadrom hd0,4 sda4" { search --set /ivt

Hi, This patch improves the frame buffer detection algorithm. It uses pci to find the video memory base, then scan it for frame buffer. It also add a loadrom command which can be used to enable accel graphic driver. The idea is that you can grab the video bios dump, and optionally the IVT from pc
