I have two sizes of flash chips because I have a BIOS savior. My 512K chip works fine, but my 1M chip doesn't.
Here's my setting from config.h
// When option roms are not pre-deployed, SeaBIOS can copy an optionrom // from flash for up to 2 devices. #define OPTIONROM_VENDEV_1 0x47521002 #define OPTIONROM_MEM_1 0xfff00000 /* 512K uses 0xfff80000 */
Looks like you have that backwards. If "lspci -vnn" reports 1002:4752 then you should set OPTIONROM_VENDEV_1 to "0x10024752".
That's what I thought the first time. 0x47521002 works for me, 0x10024752 doesn't.

Reading this output again makes me wonder if the problem I'm seeing with the address has to do with sizing the ROM register even though I provided an address.
Notice the byte at 35b0. I checked to make sure that the 1M version is the one in the 1M chip, but it won't work unless I put the video BIOS at fff80000. I put it in both places with dd since there was plenty of space, but I couldn't see a reason why it isn't working.
Do you have any debugging suggestions?
I committed a couple of more debug statements to the option rom scan. Can you do a "git pull", set the debug level to 6, and provide the output?
Will do.

I don't think it's worth pursuing. Let's just use cbfs.
Thanks, Myles
