Hi all

The board is finally in. I'm aware that David bought it (i think he has f2a85-m CSM version which is USA specific), is there anyone else? PaulePanter maybe?

Has anyone tried "hot flashing" ? It seems linux crashes if I simply unplug the flash. I tried to work around and disabled SMI by software. But I want to be sure it happens also to other people.

I haven't hot flashed very many times but it didn't crash. Maybe I was just lucky?


The issue with SeaBIOS is gone. I will post some coded verb fix. Is there a way how to extract verbs for codec from original system? I did simple: cat /sys/class/sound/hwC1D0/init_pin_configs

Is it all?

The last, so far known issue is that SeaBIOS likes to boot only from first AHCI port. I need to check this.

I checked http://www.coreboot.org/ASUS_F2A85-M and it says test virtualization.

Maybe very low priority, but linux still complains "no compatible bridge window" - I suspect it's just some PCI-E config steps.

Anyway, I like where the current build is at. Kudos!
