Hello,
I got the testbios built and tried it and got the following error doing: ./testbios -d 0x200 -t vgabios.bin
I made my vgabios.bin by doing: dd if=/dev/mem of=vgabios.bin skip=1536 count=128
The error is: c000:00dc 6e OUTSB AX=1cff BX=ffff CX=ff00 DX=60ac SP=fff4 BP=0000 SI=0002 DI=0002 DS=0040 ES=0000 SS=0030 CS=c000 IP=00de NV UP DI PL NZ NA PE NC c000:00dd f4 HALT halt_sys: file ops.c, line 9804 halted AX=1cff BX=ffff CX=ff00 DX=60ac SP=fff4 BP=0000 SI=0002 DI=0002 DS=0040 ES=0000 SS=0030 CS=c000 IP=00de NV UP DI PL NZ NA PE NC c000:00de 6e HALT
Can someone please explain this error to me and how to possibly fix it?
It means there was NO ERROR. It ran perfectly. If it is the case, you should see acrambled screen at this point.
I have a Tyan mb with a 2885 chipset. AMD64 chip. And an Nvidia FX 5950 video card. Any help would be appreciated:)
The correct command line would be:
./testbios -s 65536 -d 0x200 -t --abseg /dev/mem ../nvbios.bin
BTW, you need recent CVS tree to make it work on s2885.

Thank you, Dave
