Add Pentium M 780 (SL7VB) support to IC7-MAX3

Hello everyone!

Ten years ago, and after months of hard work I got enough money to build my first pc which had a Pentium 4 and an Abit IC7-MAX3, I remember that I was really happy when It first booted!

A couple of months ago I had the idea of rebuilding my old pc and I stumbled across this Asus CT-479 socket 479 to 478 adapter, since I had a little bit of spare time and money I got the adapter and a second hand Pentium M 780.

I assembled the Asus ct-479 + Pentium M 780 in my Abit IC7-MAX3 and there was no boot... I started reading a little bit and I was finally in condition to try some bios modding. Keep in mind that I have very little knowledge about how the bios works, so some of the things I tried might seem absurd:

1 - I concatenated the microcodes for the Pentium M PSB533MHz Dothan cpu's (sd6 and sd8 microcode) and injected it in my ic7-max3 bios using CBROM. (I am pretty sure that those are the correct microcodes for the cpu I got)

2 - Using modbin6 I changed the default fsb (100MHz) and nb/cpu strap to the minimum (PSB400) possible, also changed the agp/pci frequency to fixed and disabled Hyperthreading. The cpu volts I left "cpu default". Also tried the same as above but with and FSB of 133MHz and PSB533 which are the correct settings for the Pentium M 780.

3 - I tried some older bios releases, like the first release. I have also tried all the above with the 400 and 533MHz jumper positions in the adapter.

I flashed the bios multiple times including the aforementioned modifications, but I always had the same result: No boot, no post, the board won't even "beep". I tried to boot without ram, and the behavior seems to be the same. I notice that the the hard drive starts to spin and then nothing... I should also add that i can boot with a Pentium 4 using the bios that I modded, so the hardware is in working condition.

I have also found out that are boards that perfectly support the adapter despite not having the I875P chipset or being officially supported (even non asus boards!). I have included a link with the list. I have a folder with the majority of those bios, let me know if you need some more files, other than those that I have included.

I have already put a lot of time into this problem, but I don't have enough knowledge to solve it, this is why I came here to ask for your help, would you kindly look into the problem that I am presenting?

[REQUEST] Lenovo E545 Whitelist Removal

Hello!
Thank you for your time -- my first post here, I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E545, AMD A6-5350M w/ Radeon Graphics, and would like to change the WiFi card installed to a Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 card (Model: 7260HMW).

Find a backup of my BIOS using Universal BIOS Backup Toolkit V2.0 (BIOS: LENOVO-HRET24WW(1.12).rom) here: http://rghost.net/7cJcfWHwf

Using BACKUP_Tools.exe (from http://rghost.net/58219938) resulted in this results.rar file: http://rghost.net/7pJ5TVLnD

I've done some looking around on this forum, and have found similar (if not identical) BIOS mods already performed -- since I have no experience w/ this kind of modification, I'm not sure if the mods for someone else's laptop/BIOS of the same model (i.e. perhaps this one: https://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-REQUEST-Whitelist-removal-for-Lenovo-E545) would work with my laptop -- if so, please just point me to the right thread and I'll not take up any more of your time Smile

If not, I would sincerely appreciate if someone might remove the whitelist from the BIOS? Thank you so much!

EDIT: Added link to results.rar file

[REQUEST] Acer Aspire 5741 unlock & patch

Hello there,

I would like my bios modded so I can start my laptop up with the PE4L and a GPU (eGPU adapter).

Bios:
Direct download from Acer website, v1.23

What I would like:
My laptop works fine, but I have some trouble with it.
I have a PE4L and a GTX 560 TI, and when I insert the PE4L in the wifi card slot and start my laptop up, I have no screen and the laptop cuts it power off after 5 sec. This however didn't happen with the oldest bios I could find (Direct download from Acer website, v1.05). With v1.05 my laptop starts up but I have no screen, the laptop keeps on running.
I think that the laptop has a wifi whitelist (I don't have any other wifi card to test). The only way to do so is to boot my laptop, put it in sleep mode and then swap the wifi card with the PE4L. But, my laptop gets a BSOD with nvidias familiar nvlmkm.sys error and there is no way of fixing it besides I think the bios mod. This however doesn't happen with my r7 240 (no BSOD). I ran the same setup (PE4L with GTX 560 TI) on the Aspire 5536G and it worked perfectly fine, it could even boot with the PE4L inserted unlike my Aspire 5741.

Could somebody please mod this bios, I know there was a request 3 years ago for the Aspire 5741G (and yes, they share the same bios), I used that one, but it didn't fix my problem. I would like to give you that bios (because it has unlocked Advanced and Power tab), but the link doesn't work anymore.

Acer Aspire 5315. Propor support of T8100

I have a Acer Aspire 5315 with a CPU T8100

Code:
model name    : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T8100 @ 2.10GHz

The BIOS contains the folloing problems.

-Max CPU is 2.00GHz not 2.10GHz
-I can't use different steps, the CPU is fixed at 2.00GHz

Code:
root@antiX1:/home/Carlos# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq
2001000

Code:
root@antiX1:/home/Carlos# cpufreq-info
cpufrequtils 008: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2009
Report errors and bugs to cpufreq@vger.kernel.org, please.
analyzing CPU 0:
driver: acpi-cpufreq
CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0
CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
maximum transition latency: 10.0 us.
hardware limits: 2.00 GHz - 2.00 GHz
available frequency steps: 2.00 GHz, 2.00 GHz
available cpufreq governors: conservative, powersave, userspace, ondemand, performance
current policy: frequency should be within 2.00 GHz and 2.00 GHz.
The governor "userspace" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
current CPU frequency is 2.00 GHz (asserted by call to hardware).

The official bios is no longer updated by ACER.

I have used a modified BIOS (icl50_1.45_black_edition_40.fd) that fix some problems (like VT support)

I have also updated the CPU microcodes on the BIOS, but not fix my problem with the DSDT

There is any way to improve the BIOS to get better support of T8100?

Generic Laptop (Eurocase), InsideH2O BIOS with buggy? ACPI DSDT

March 9, 2015, 4:58 pm

Hello everyone.

I have a very frustrating situation with this 2011 laptop (non UEFI?). It turns out that, whenever it tries to suspend to RAM and sometimes even when shutting down, the system freezes right after the screen turns off. (It freezes at the "Windows is shutting down" screen when powering off). That is to say, power LED remains lit and the fans running.

The issue is not OS specific as it fails in the same fashion on linux.

I can't really be sure of the cause of such a problem and I don't really know of any way to debug it although I suspect it's either a hardware issue or a buggy firmware.

Therefore, I dumped and decompiled the ACPI DSDT table and attached it to this post.

Maybe someone with experience on ACPI and IASL can take a look?

Any insight on this will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Diego
