Testing modernizing patches on ASUS KGPE-D16. (was Re: Asus KGPE-D16 with latest coreboot errors with Unsupported Hardware on Qubes 4 install missing IOMMU?)

[Daniel Kulesz]

Hi folks,

is there a branch that has all the outstanding KGPE-D16 changes merged? I will be happy to test, but I feat I won't find the time to test all those fixes each in a separate branch. Also some specification of what tests need to be conducted would help.

The outstanding KGPE-D16 bugs on my personal list are boot failures that require to turn off/on AC and the power consumption issues in idle that forced me to pull out one of the CPU packages and its RAM. But as far as I understood these were not targeted in the recent changes but could be "accidentially" fixed (e.g. by removal of some old buggy code) - correct?

Cheers, Daniel

I have the same issue :[ there is no real cause in the serial logs that
I can find I wondered if it was because the chips on the bottom of my
g34 cpu are damaged somewhat. I would really like to find out why.

I suggest to use the reset button instead so your hard drives don't have
to start/stop so much that is if your case has one you can connect the
header.

Sorry for a late reply, but have you tried repairing/replacing the
chips (capacitors?) on the bottom of your G34 cpu?
