testbios loops?

Hi, I went back to trying to get the Nvida 6800gt card's bios, but still even with dd -if=/dev/mem of=vgabios.rom skip=786432 bs=1 count=32768 I get the same binary as dd -if=/dev/mem of=vgabios.rom skip=1536 count=64. I used dhex (free util) to verify they are the same. What happens when I run them trough testbios is that once it is done programming 0xc7fff it jump to 0x9 something or other and the video bios isn't programmed correctly. My iomem looks like this: 00000000-0009fbff : System RAM 0009fc00-0009ffff : reserved 000a0000-000bffff : Video RAM area 000c0000-000c7fff : Video ROM 000f0000-000fffff : System ROM 00100000-1ffeffff : System RAM 00100000-002b00be : Kernel code 002b00bf-003d78bf : Kernel data 1fff0000-1fffefff : ACPI Tables 1ffff000-1fffffff : ACPI Non-volatile Storage c9f00000-c9ffffff : PCI Bus #01 ca000000-ca0fffff : PCI Bus #02 ca100000-ca1fffff : PCI Bus #03 Any ideas as to what is wrong?

Crufty code organization, but now you know. This was made to work by having user level initialization scripts program the FPGA before loading the device driver. The first thing that the device driver did in its init function was call the function below. This is working code as it sits. The things like "PCI_VENDOR_ID_IROBOT" are our own local hacks and defines. Things like "list_for_each_safe() come from the kernel headers. I think that <linux/pci.h> was all I needed for this part of the code but it might be dependent on others as well. I'd be happy to attempt to answer specific questions, but I think everything needed is here. I figured this out thought a lot of grepping and "use the source Luke!". Cheers!
