Has anyone updated this Supermicro server Board BIOS for the H8DME-2......
I have installed FC10, (i was able to complete this installation by turning of the RAID configuration in the BIOS), and now I am having trouble when trying to upgrade the Operating system to FC13.
I suspect, if I update the BIOS, I currently have the version of the BIOS that came pre-installed with the server, I may be able to upgrade to FC13.
One thing I like to mention, when running "make menuconfig" I was not sure of the ROM Chip size, and used the largest available setting 4MB.
- How can I check the proper setting for this parameter????
So now, I have created the coreboot.rom, and think I am ready to run "flashrom".......
- Is there anything else I need to check before I pull the trigger???
- Has anyone had any problems I should be aware of????
Thanks Daniel
Hi Daniel,
My first (and so far only) experience in installing coreboot was with the H8DME-2. http://www.mindspring.com/~jakorty/coreboot.html is a step-by-step writeup of my experiences. This page was written up quite recently (May), so, unlike most coreboot documentation found on the web, nothing in it should yet be obsolete.
