Hello. Sorry to bother you all with a BIOS problem ...
I have a large number of old HP DL145 G1 servers with two Opteron 248 each (single core). I want to upgrade the CPU's to Opteron 280 (dualcore).
I have tried to simply install two 280 CPU's and boot up. The BIOS bootup process first seems to work fine detecting the harddrive, USB, management processor, memory etc. Then there is a warning text "Warning: Unknown processor. Please contact your BIOS vendor for appropriate updates". After that it detects the BMC
I already have the last BIOS available from HP (from 21/7 2005) installed.
Would it be possible to tweak coreboot to make these servers work with dualcore CPU's?
The DL145 G1 Mobo is a re-branded Celestica A2210.
Thanks! /Oskar
Here follows output from lcpci, lspci -tvnn and dmidecode on one of the servers.
