Eric, Under 4G RAM linusbios_tables occupy 0x500-0xae0, cmos_util can find option_table even after rebooting. Under 6G RAM linuxbios_tables occupy 0x500-0xaf4, cmos_util can find option_table after power on but can not find it after rebooting.
The only difference should be that rebooting don't execute auto.c again.
I am not really certain what is going on, but it doesn't sound good. Normally I just reset the board and that is probably the right solution. I am still struggling to get the new config tool usable, so I am a bit distracted.
We should be rewriting the table even during a reboot. So the fact that this doesn't work indicates there is some kind of problem. What I don't know.
I can positively report that I have seen this. If I don't start pushing my reset code into the tree in the next couple of days please bug me.
