Patching SeaBIOS Part II (Patching)

Basically we must create hex-file with SLIC and add SLIC-support in acpi.c in /surgery/seabios-1.9.3/src/fw

Part II a (If your hardware BIOS already has correct SLIC)

Than go to root
[userid@hostname ~]$ su -

extract SLIC
[root@hostname ~]$ xxd -i /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/SLIC | grep -v len | sed 's/unsigned char.*/static char SLIC[] = {/' > acpi-slic.hex

Copy acpi-slic.hex to your profile:
[root@hostname ~]$ cp acpi-slic.hex /home/<YOUR_LOGIN_NAME>/surgery/seabios-1.9.3/src/fw

and exit from root...
[root@hostname ~]$ exit

go to Part II c

Part II b (If your bios has not correct fresh SLIC table)

Than create acpi-slic.hex file from slic.bin file
[userid@hostname ~]$ xxd -i slic.bin | grep -v len | sed 's/unsigned char.*/static char SLIC[] = {/' > acpi-slic.hex

And copy it to sources
[userid@hostname ~]$ cp acpi-slic.hex ./surgery/seabios-1.9.3/src/fw

Part II c (adding SLIC support to acpi.c)

Go to firmware catalog
[userid@hostname ~]$ cd ./surgery/seabios-1.9.3/src/fw

Create with any text editor file slicpatch

content of slicpatch

[userid@hostname ~]$ patch -p0 <slicpatch

 

Patching SeaBIOS Part III (Compiling)

return to home catalog
userid@hostname ~]$ cd

Delete original packed sources:
[userid@hostname ~]$ rm ./rpmbuild/SOURCES/seabios*

Pack patched sources:
[userid@hostname ~]$ cd surgery

[userid@hostname ~]$ tar czf seabios-1.9.3.tar.gz seabios-1.9.3

Move packed sources to build catalog:
[userid@hostname ~]$ cd

[userid@hostname ~]$ mv ./surgery/*.tar.gz ./rpmbuild/SOURCES


Run compiler:
[userid@hostname ~]$ cd ./rpmbuild/SPECS

[userid@hostname ~]$ rpmbuild -ba seabios.spec

Return to home:
[userid@hostname ~]$ cd

Now in ./rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch we have patched SeaBIOS RPMs. And from ./rpmbuild/BUILD/seabios-1.9.3/binaries we can take patched bin files (bios.bin & bios-256k.bin)

Thats all...
