Hello All,
I have the Arima HDAMA server. The BIOS can be found here: http://www.arimacorp.com/server/Product/ViewDownload.asp?View=HDAMA%20rev.G
I want to extract the VGA.ROM but I can succeed. I have been following this instruction: http://www.coreboot.org/VGA_support
When I execute this command: cat /proc/iomem | grep 'Video ROM'
Nothing is returned. When i check via command: cat /proc/iomem I also don't see anything that is related to the display.
I have a feeling that the reason why I don't see anything is because the VGA BIOS option ROM isn't loaded in RAM?
I've also tried the phnxdeco tool. I don't see any modules that can be extracted when I use this tool.
phnxdeco hdmag217.rom -l

Can someone help me to find a way de extract the VGA ROM of this main board?

I've been looking into this issue a bit more.

I see that the VGA card is using slot 01:06.0
In the output of cat /proc/iomem I can see this slot numer 3 times? So I wonder if one of these if the VGA location if so which one is the real one i.e. the one I need?

lspci -vs 1:6
If it has a ROM on it you should be able to read it out. (Note that the address reported by lspci may actually not be correct, I don't know why, but you may need to read the expansion rom BAR directly to get the correct address: (I thought this is what lspci does, but no)
setpci -s 1:6 30.l
Then mmap /dev/mem (see flashrom physmap.c for an example) and read out the block. I hacked up something to do this a few weeks ago, let me know if you want it.

I suggest you try Luc Verhaegen's cool bios_extract utility instead. You will find it in his git repository: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~libv/bios_extract/
What might help is to do $ dd if=hdamg217.rom of=hdama.rom bs=512k count=1
This cuts away the Phoenix BIOS flash description at the end and leaves you with the image only.
I tried with the latest version of bios_extract and applied the following patch, and I was able to extract all modules:

As was already pointed out, since you have the option ROM for the graphics card in your regular BIOS image, you don't need to do this anymore, but here's the tool anyway: http://stuge.se/physrd.c
