But there are actually quite a few other differences
throughout the file,
which surprises me a litte. Lots of differences in the various northbridge
entries, and even the network cards and the sata controller. Is this normal?
A followup on this. First of all, I didn't realize that the PCI configuration
space is dynamic - things change all the time.
Secondly;
0000:01:04.3 Bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD]
AMD-8111 ACPI (rev 05)

-f0: 19 5f 3b 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
+f0: c3 ad 1e 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
As it turns out, those three bytes change constantly, so I guess they are not
significant.
Also, I missed one byte that IS consistently different after a boot with the
proprietary BIOS:
0000:01:04.3 Bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8111 ACPI (rev 05)
...
-40: 80 f1 00 04 00 00 00 00 20 14 50 00 00 00 00 00
+40: 80 f1 00 07 00 00 00 00 20 14 50 00 00 00 00 00
How would I go about changing that byte during the LinuxBIOS boot? Do I need
to edit resourcemap.c in src/mainboard/tyan/s2881?
Thanks,
Ward.
