I have two ideas to try for a mod. They are time consuming, so I need to know if you want to try them, before I'll start to modify......
I am willing to try everything. And it would be great, if you have the time to mod this BIOS. I will do what ever I can to help you. Thanks a lot.
Thanks a lot Yen, the different order did the trick. Hope you had not to invested too much time. Vista x64 is activated and everest shows the SLIC info. Can you tell me how to do the different oder mod or where I find the corresponding info, so that I can mod the next release by myself. Thanks again.
Another great!!! job done Yen! You never stop surprising with tricks. So why did the strange nocompress module mess up the isa mod? edit: @ Spawn182, fyi, to find out whos isa.bin it is, open it in hex editor and look at end of file for signature. Code: this is iasus1.bin by tommy, for GA boards Offset 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F 000003F0 32 68 1F B4 BC A8 00 00 00 00 54 6F 6D 31 2E 30 2h.´¼¨....Tom1.0 this is iasus.bin by ZhaoLiang Offset 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F 000003F0 32 68 1F B4 BC A8 00 5A 68 61 6F 4C 69 61 6E 67 2h.´¼¨.ZhaoLiang
Thanks for the tutorial, I will try my luck with the next bios release. Good that there is someone with your knowledge If you need someone to try the PCI mod, you can count on me. PS: Thanks to flagmax, too.
Oh, thank you. I had a look at this code. Only zero and FF bytes and the question: Why that nocompress rom, it doesn't make any sense.... Then the word romhole came into my mind.(Phoenix Bioses). Any additional module is forced not to use that place to fill up the bios. The only reason is to get the isa module out of range........I bit of luck additionally and.....I got it...... But I've also here a alternative way...not needed.........PCI code, written by Zhaoliang to introduce SLIC by calling it instead of PXE LAN boot manager rtegrom.lom....... unfortunately my first mod had a checksum error.......
I've been away just for a several hours and look what happens... Whole new science...LOL... Just kiding.... Nice work @Yen, simply said you fooled GB and their eforts to trick as/you.
It's late now....tomorrow I'll revise the PCI mod again (Did it already, but I'm tired.....) For educational purposes we can give it another try tomorrow.....
Thank you for trying. It seems that the PCI SLIC code isn't compatible with your Gigabyte bios. Anyway, the new ISA mod is working. See you again.
