Okay, so if you own a FW13 AMD first gen (Ryzen 7040), you probably don't want to upgrade to the latest BIOS (3.18) as it seems to break booting up when connected to a USB or Thunderbolt docking station.
blocking the update for now.
#BIOS
Interesting problem that’s just emerged with my home desktop (NUC form factor) mini PC. Occasionally it gets #stuck with the #BIOS “American Megatrends” screen on it and doesn’t load #GRUB. It’s only happened a few times so far, and I’ve just switched it off and on again and all is well. Anyone else seen this behaviour? My first idea (when I get to it) will be to take the top off and see if the SATA SSD with GRUB and Ubuntu on it is connected properly.
BIOS Limit von 504 MB für Festplatten umgehen mit FAT32, dank EZ-Drive
Ältere 386/486 Mainboards bis 1994 erkennen im BIOS zwar vermeintlich mehr als 504 MB, aber letztendlich lässt sich eine Festplatte unter MS-DOS oder Windows 95/98 trotzdem nur mit maximal 504 MB ansprechen und partitionieren.
Um trotzdem mehr als dieses Limit nutzen zu können, gibt es diverse Lösungsmöglichkeiten mit Vor- und Nachteilen:

Под капотом ACPI. Современное управление питанием
Как-то при разработке UEFI мне посчастливилось разбираться с таблицами описания системы в исходниках ASL (ACPI Source Language). Тема оказалась не тривиальная и моего багажа в несколько лет опыта, достаточно плотной embedded-разработки, не хватало для полного понимания работы подсистемы ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface). Поэтому пришлось исследовать доступные материалы на тему. В процессе поиска информации заметил, что очень мало русскоязычных статей на эту тему – а если и есть, то они в основном рассказывают о том, как включить какое-то оборудование на раннем этапе загрузки системы, а не дают понимания, как это устроено. Поэтому решил попробовать написать об устройстве ACPI, тем более что тема достаточно сложная для понимания – одна лишь спецификация ACPI занимает более 1200 страниц (на момент написания статьи). А некоторые даже и не знают о её существовании.

Fun fact: when running #Linux on a #retrocomputing machine whose #BIOS has the 8GB limit, you can still boot, but you need /boot to be on a separate partition that's below the 8GB limit.
Unless you're using a bootloader that has its own ATA driver, at least. Back then I was using LILO which used BIOS calls to read disks. Not sure what modern GRUB does.
I spent this evening trying to get my physical retro PC, a Pentium 166MHz running Windows 98 SE, to connect to an 80GB IDE harddisk. The BIOS seems to be limited to a maximum of 8GB, but in the end I managed to get it working. I needed to use Ontrack's Disk Manager 2000 to install a DDO driver.
I guess I became too lazy! Emulating old hardware is so much more convenient than dealing with real-world limitations like this. 😅
@adamsdesk well, according to @rasteri zhis works because #MDA has it's own #DMA address space vs. #CGA / #HGA / #EGA / #VGA, so in theory #Linux should be able to implement this, tho I'm nit shure if current versions of Linux still support it.
- I really should read the #dcumentation, but I hoped someone on the #Fediverse would actually knows it...
That being said this does require a setup with a seperate #MDA card exclusively occupying it's address space and a #VGA adaptor that ignores it.
- Most #SOM|s and #embedded as well as #consumer #GPU|s don't do that but take on both address spaces and simply disconnect the MDA part in terms of #BIOS compatibility once they get switched into #VGA mode and only switch back when the VGA mode is turned off.
Also this combo is rather uncommon and basically died with multi-display cards in lieu of #TTY-Terminal access.

From time to time it's not just about fixing SBCs - re-flashed #EC and #bios on this desktop motherboard in order to revive it with my #SVOD4 ✅.
It seems my #bios does revert some setting change I made after I turn off my computer. I assume it has to do with shutting down the computer through #cli with "doas systemctl poweroff". Does anybody see the problem with this command? Or do I have to look elsewhere for the reason of why the case fan settings gets reverted after every reboot? #linux
