  • BIOS bug: Legacy free FADT detected

    Hi,
    It's a new install. I get the following info on booting the machine with OEL 4 update 5-Kernel 2.6.9-55.0.0.0.2.Elsmp
    BIOS bug: Legacy free FADT detected, but FADT size (129) is incorrect!
    The machine keep rebooting.
    Please help.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Hi Tommy,
    Tried the acpi off switch. Didn't work. In fact I redid the install with the linux acpi=off. However no luck. I switched acpi to no in BIOS too, however, no luck with that either.
    The reboot issue persists with ACPI: unable to locate RSDP showing up.
    Will try the to look for the USB setting in BIOS as per your suggestion and get back to you.
    Ta very much,

  • Lenovo Thinkpad T520 doesn't boot with GPT slices on FreeBSD 9-BETA3 - BIOS bug?

    Hi!
    I've bought a brand new Lenovo Thinkpad T520 laptop and decided to install FreeBSD 9 Beta 3 following this guide.
    But when I rebooted the system, it simply doesn't boot (turns out to the BIOS boot menu).
    It's even doesn't boot with default FreeBSD 9 UFS-on-GPT installation scheme through bsdInstaller
    Changing BIOS (latest, 1.31) settings BIOS Startup->UEFI/Legacy Boot from "Both" to "Legacy only" has no effect. As FreeBSD AFAIK doesn't support UEFI boot, legacy boot should work picking up and starting pmbr (protected MBR record), but it doesn't.
    However, FreeBSD 9 UFS-on-MBR installation (with mbr boot record and FreeBSD slice in MBR partition instead of  GPT) works fine.
    It seems to me that UEFI/Legacy Boot "Legacy" setting actually has no effect if 0xEE type Primary partition entry is present on disk.
    First of all, has anyone installed Linux or FreeBSD with GPT partitioning scheme on latest Thinkpads?
    And the second one, as I've saw similar problem on FreeBSD forum thread about T420s laptop I believe that this may be a bug in the BIOS. How can I fill the bugreport or send an e-mail to support or developers, as, obvious, phone support can consult only about Windows OS.

     I've got a suspicion that the Thinkpad bios/efi is not simply executing the first stage bootloader, but looking around on the GPT disk and then crapping its pants when it doesn't find Windows.
    Right now I have a MBR-formatted harddisk in the ultrabay with the bootloader in the MBR. Once I get the bootloader off the MBR disk, I can easily continue to boot from my GPT-formatted SSD.
    Yes, it seems that it's a BIOS bug at least on T520, T420s and W520 laptops. Even in "Legacy" mode first stage bootloader doesn't execute if partition type is 0xEE (GPT).
    Hope Lenovo developers will fix it. They fixed something on BIOS 1.31

    - Fixed an issue where the computer might not be booted from bootloader program.
     but it doesn't work for now. Pity.

  • I POD HAS BEEN DETECTED BUT CANNOT BE IDENTIFIED PROPERLY

    my 6th generation nano shuffle when plugged in responds with the message: 
    "i pod has been detected but could not be identified properly"
    then i am prompted to reinstall itunes. have done this but the problem remains.
    i cannot sync from my itunes.
    help please?

    I spent an hour on Apple help last night with this problem. We tried all the obvious things first:
    1. resetting the ipod.
    2. changing USB ports
    3. removing all other USB connections.
    4. Uninstalling Itunes and installing a fresh copy.
    5. clearing the saved application data (in Application Data / Itunes a hidden file on my version of Windows 7).
    6. changing the drive letter in disk manager (the ipod would not show up with Itunes installed but did show up when it was uninstalled).
    7. Deleting the USB connection and allowing it to reestablish itself in Device Manager (the USB connection showed up in device manager with a conflict notification).
    NONE OF THIS FIXED IT!
    I got to the second level of tech support and we repeated most of the above.
    Here is what worked in Windows 7.
    1. Go to Device Manager (click on Start / control panel/ Hardware and Sound / Device Manager).
    2. In device manager click on the drop down arrow for the "Universal Serial Bus Controllers".
    3. Right click on the "Mass Storage Device" (all other USB drives should be removed prior to this) and choose "Update Driver Software".
    4. Browse to C drive / Program FilesX86 / Common Files / Apple / Drivers and click ok to update the USB drivers.
    NOTE my copy of Itunes did NOT have a driver file in this location! so instead we pointed to the same location as above except instead of Program Filesx86 we used the same path except using "Program Files" with NO X86!
    C drive / Program Files / Common Files / Apple / Drivers
    Once the driver updated I rebooted the computer with the Ipod attached and it recognized the ipod.
    I think that not having the driver files in the X86 path is a bug in the software. I hope this helps!!

  • Thinkpad S540 possible BIOS bug concerning WOL

    I have had a Thinkpad S540 for a few months, and have it installed as dual boot Windows 8.1 and arch linux.  After completely shutting the machine down from linux I found that the battery would be down to around 70% charge after three days unused, and decided to investigate this problem since it was not reasonable for a new battery to lose charge at anything like this rate.
    By chance I came across a piece of information concerning the issue of disabling WOL (Wake on LAN) on the network interface, since I had seen one report that by default WOL is enabled and this requires power to be going to the network interface even when shut down in order to be able to respond to magic packets to start the machine up when it is shut down.
    First I checked the BIOS WOL setting and found it was set to "AC only" by default. So I changed it to disabled. This machine has the latest available BIOS version 1.54.
    However on investigating this after rebooting in linux I found that 
    # cat /sys/class/net/enp3s0/device/power/wakeup
    enabled
    # ethtool enp3s0 | grep Wake-on
    Supports Wake-on: pumbg
    Wake-on: g
    So WOL was still enabled despite it being set to disabled in the BIOS!
    I learned that I can make sure that in arch linux the WOL setting can be changed to set to disabled after bootup by using a udev rule:
    # cat 70-disable_wol.rules
    ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", KERNEL=="enp3s0", RUN+="/usr/bin/ethtool -s enp3s0 wol d"
    Then rebooting the machine I checked the WOL setting and it really is disabled now:
    # ethtool enp3s0 | grep Wake-on
    Supports Wake-on: pumbg
    Wake-on: d
    # cat /sys/class/net/enp3s0/device/power/wakeup
    disabled
    So I then ensured that the battery was 100% charged and shut down the machine and left it two and a half days - rebooting this morning the battery was still at 100% charge and no longer discharges unnecessarily when the machine is switched off,  so this is a clear indication of a bug in the BIOS for the WOL setting - it is still enabled despite the BIOS saying it is disabled!
    How do I report this to Lenovo so that they can fix the BIOS and release a new one that is working?
    I am aware of other users with different Thinkpads who seem to have the same problem, so this may be more widespread an issue than just on the S540.  
    It is also not just an issue with the battery running down when fully shut down but will likely also be a problem for a machine in suspend mode since the network interface may be consuming a watt or so of power when in suspend, which will again run the battery down at an unacceptable rate.
    I cannot imagine any use case where it would be necessary to have WOL enabled on a laptop that is mostly going to be used mobile - so having the default setting to AC only enabled, and having a BIOS bug enabling it when it is explicitely disabled is a serious problem.

    Anyone running windows in the same laptop can check the same issue of battery drain due to WOl being enabled by default - in the Device Manager under the network card, opening the settings menu for the ethernet wired card the default for Wake-on-LAN on my computer was set to enabled. This can be changed to disabled, and you may need to also disable the setting for Wake on Magic Packet. Also in the Power Management tab it is possible to uncheck the settings for "Allow this device to wake the computer" and "Only allow a magic packet to wake the computer"
    In my laptop these were all set to enabled by default.

  • I'd heard about a bios bug!

    Hi guys,
    my system running not allways stable!I got some bluescreens of the art "STOP COMMAND"!
    Exactly this three ones:
    IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
    PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA   and
    BAD_CALL_POOLER
    HERE are some information about it,but sorry,it's in german!
    I think that the faults causes maybe in that two ways!
    Once is a Memory error,because I become sometimes error Popups,that adresses can't written or read!
    I use one TwinMos Modul of PC3200,512 Mb!
    At the moment I test it in slot 3 and it seems to be more stable as in slot 1!The time settings seems to be not so important,I can use either 2.5-3-3-6,or 2-3-3-6!Normal is(I'm not sure 2.5-3-3-8)!
    But more important I think is,that the motherboard monitor shows me a core voltage of under 1.5V~1.48v!!!That is also the reason I mean,that I can't overclock my system over 205 MHz frontsidebus stable!In 3D Mark 3 I get instantly by the first test Wings of Fury a totaly blue screen(not the error bluescreen!Much darker and without any message!)
    So I'd heard about a bug in the AMI bios,that you can't  store a new core voltage!Either increase,nor decrease!My settings are on 1.55 Volt!Isn#t that the right voltage for the prozessor and if,why it isn't there a possibility to increase the core voltage for overclocking!But that is a must for a good result!I'm a little bit confused about that!The other possibility is,that my PSU is not strong enough!What for a Voltage is important for the CPU Core?I mean the 3.3V,or?My customer had said that he test the PSU and it's stable!It shall be have 32A,normaly it is enough to hold the voltage correct,but I knew that in china the electric is another as in germany!!!
    Another problem is that I have change my drive from the VIA controller to the promise,because I would first test  the speed and if this controller is able to read the correct monitoring data(Firmware,temperature,UDMA mode...)!The VIA doesn't do that but the promise can!And I use now together my old seagate drive on it.
    Because HDTunenow show me the correct UDMA mode,I'd seen that both drives are not running at their best settings!The samsung run at UDMA5,but can run on 7 and the seagate run on UDMA2,but can  do it on 5!So I would change it,but I have no idea where I can do that!In the hardware manager it isn't a possibility,neither on IDE(there is only the VIA),nor at the SCSI devices!I cannot see any settings therefor at the promise controller!And if I change the settings in bios on RAID(for S-ATA) and go into the RAID Menue with Ctrl+f on bootup,I can see keys for changing values,but their shows no result!And I think if their would working I can't use it,because with the RAID setting the computer will not boot if you don't create an array!
    Has anyone some ideas???
    Thank you very much!

    Thanx man!
    How I write it in my system specifications,I'd try to change the slot and it seems to be better with the RAM in slot 3!
    But,is it my not so good english or why you did not wrote anything about the bios bug I'd heard from!Is it true that it gives a bios version with this bug,that doesn't allow to store another core voltage?Because I think that is the problem!That my core voltage is only at 1.48V,wether I changed it to 1.55V,neither if I do that in bios,nor in bios on auto and do it with core center!
    What is the "normal" processor voltage?1.5 V?And if,why it gives no possibility to increase it higher than 1.55V for overclocking?What for voltage amounts are important for the processor to run stable?Only +3.3V or also the  +5V and +12V amounts?
    But anyway, it seems to be that the +3400  version of the processor is coming at its end of power and isn't so good to be overclocked!Better I'd bought a +3200 one I think!
    But my system is also good without overclocking if I take a look at my 3DMark and Aquamark results!!:worship:
    And my system isn't so old,only 2 month,but the errors comes also in the fresh system at the first days!
    Greetings from good old Germany!

  • T440s fn ctrl swap bios bug

    Hi,
    I think this was documented before, but I am now experiencing the fn ctrl swap bug when going to sleep.
    I have swapped my fn and ctrl keys, and the setting never stays after resuming from deep sleep.
    I have updated my bios to the latest version (2.19) but it has not fixed it.
    Please advise. I do not want to turn off deep sleep.
    Cheers
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thank you for reporting this.  Yes, I can confirm it is BIOS bug.  We had this same issue on T430 generation and fixed it.  But now it seems T440 generation also suffers from this same bug, needs fix.  So I will report this to BIOS team.  Sorry for this inconvenience.

  • No battery is detected but fan works great

    My HP Pavilion G7 1365dx (PN A7A33UA#ABA) running Windows 7 had its fan go bad. I ordered and replaced the fan. The fan runs nicely and all is quiet fan wise.
    The issue is that once I reassembled the laptop the battery is not detected.  I don't believe that I could have left anything unconnected when I reassembled it that would only impact the battery power and not the AC power, though I could be wrong and would be happy to open the box up again and adjust if required as a last resort. I do not want to risk leaving something unplugged when I go back in and my concern in taking the keyboard off without punching a pencil or screwdriver through it. 
    I have tried removing the battery and booting only with power cord. Reflashing the BIOS, and a few other steps but still no joy.  Any suggestions?

    The problem is there is not a lot of connections that could be responsible for the battery's not being detected. The battery port connectors (terminals) are part of the motherboard itself. If the power jack module is not seated right it might keep incoming power from getting to the battery to charge it but should not affect the power from the battery running into the motherboard. There might be some dirt or something on the terminals but you can reach them without taking the laptop apart. You should also check the battery terminals. Other than that it might be some harm befell the motherboard during the fan replacement operation.

  • If free network detected, then connect!

    Hi All,
    i'd like to know if i can create an applescript capable of detecting if there is some unprotected wifi network, and if so to connect.
    Ideally I'd like something like that to start as a login item.
    If my mac finds a network - even if it doesn't know it yet - it automatically connect.
    Is it possible?
    Thanks!

    Just wanted to point out to others that there are valid uses for this. I, too, am looking for a solution to this (and will let you know if I come across one) before I go on a trip in about 17 hours.
    I'll be traveling to a private camp that offers free Wi-Fi, but since I no longer have a laptop, I'd like to take my Mac Mini down there, using my iPad as my monitor rather than lugging one down. I can get this setup working if they're on the same network, but since my Mac Mini is unfamiliar with the network down there, it's not set up to automatically connect. I can connect them using an ad-hoc network in an environment either unfamiliar or with no Wi-Fi, but then I get no Internet... and I can't "switch" over without disabling the ad-hoc first, meaning I can't actually connect to the Internet Wi-Fi afterwards.
    TC, I don't know anything about AppleScripts, nor what that command you posted does, but maybe you can find a way to combine it with the AppleScript I experimented with to create an ad-hoc network. Here's the link: http://forums.presonus.com/posts/list/21262.page
    If you manage to figure out a real solution, I'd love to hear about it.

  • Help---MSI KT4AV bios BUG ?!

    Hi....(excuse my bad english... )  I try...
    I have the MB   MSI - KT4AV
    two days ago , I have buy a AMD CPU 3200 Ghz , 32bit ofcourse, Inside the shop have sayed to me...no problems with this MB !!!
    well  I try  , but I can't go UP  2800+  !!!
    I try and Try  with BIOS but no result.
    I have read with the last BIOS is corretc the right recognised 3Ghz+ cpu...
    I have update BUT always thesame.
    So I have read arround, this MB can't support CPU uo 3Ghz !...  so never 3,2   ...ok..but MY   not go up 2,8 !!!!
    BIOS setting....and here is the Myseriuos!!!
    FSB...I can't select UP 170 or the PC non start , amnd I must reset the cmos/bios!
    (200 I can't forget...I can work with 166.....)
    MOLTIPLIC.   I can set to x12.13      and My pc  (166 - x12.13) give 2800
    BUT....If i select   x14   I became 880 Mhz !!!  and if I set x 15  984 Mhz!!!!!!!
    Why  ?!?!?    this is sure a bios bug....

     impossible....sure NEVER He take back!!... later I used and Try....  sure I became in the...A..!  
       well IF this CPU is not supported  WHY work and to 2800 ?!? work or not work....
       and WHY x14 give the IDOT nummer 880 Mhz   and x15   980 Ghz ?   this is ONLY a BIOS problem....   to fixit!!!
    so..I not belive MSI have not to do, with this bios...

  • Post Code 9A Error, 990FXA-GD80, Bios bug

    After Bios B.40 i got same strange bug, sometimes when i load a oc profile my pc get stuck at 9A error and the only thing that i can do to recovery is use ctrl+home to recovery it, clear cmos is unless.
    After a lot of tests to try understand what was happening i got the answer.
    My CPU is a X3 710 (waiting for bulldozers) so i always use the unlock cpu core feature. I used this x3 with unlocked core for 2 years without any problem, so the locked core is good.
    If i load a oc profile with unlock cpu core feature enabled from a already unlocked stage, everyting is ok, but if my bios seting "unlock cpu core" is disabled and i load a oc profile with it enabled my pc do 6 beeps, restart and get stuck at 9A post code.
    I have sure that in Bios B.30 this wasnt happening.

    Guy, did u see me asking anything about overclock?
    I was talking about a bios BUG that can damage the mainboard, and a lot of ppl cant recovery their bios like i did.
    I posted to help ppl with same issue and alert others to avoid it.
    I informed MSI about it using the right channel.
    Ty for help me bump this topic.

    Hello!
    Overclocking questions go somewhere else.
    If you don't absolutely need to update BIOS to solve a problem, resist the temptation.
    And if you do... Go back to the version that made you smile!  
    We ask people to state the max ampères the PSU can do. There is a list on the PSU box.

  • K8N Neo FSR, possible BIOS bug: setting Vcore with Cool'n Quiet enabled broken?

    Athlon 64 3400+, socket 754
    K8N Neo FSR, Pheonix-Award BIOS V1,5
    WinXP SP2
    Having Cool'n Quiet disabled in BIOS setup, CPU core voltage adjustment
    using 'Adjust CPU VID' below the Athlon 64 default 1,5V core voltage
    works like a charm. Fine!
    But with Cool'n Quiet enabled in BIOS setup (and WinXP), under load the
    CPU core voltage raises to 1,5V in any case, independently of what I did
    define in BIOS setup with 'Adjust CPU VID' (e.g. 1,4V). Software tools setting
    Vcore like Core Center are not running.
    So I can choose to either run a silent system in idle mode with Cool'n Quiet
    enabled or under heavy CPU load with Cool'n Quiet disabled but Vcore
    reduced :-( Am I missing something or does it rather look like a BIOS
    bug?

    As undervolting is not considured standard operating proceedures then how can it be considured a bug.
    nor is overclocking but MSI mobo manual reads 'This motherboard is designed to support overclocking.'
    So this mobo is designed for supporting at least one non standard operating procedure 
    Seriously, if BIOS offers a feature I suppose it to work as expected.

    2) Apple Software Update
    3) Apple Mobile Device Support
    4) Bonjour
    5) Apple Application Support

    Then you install the latest version of iTunes (which will reinstall all those things you uninstalled).
    Then you restart your computer again.
    Mine is working perfectly again now.
    I hope it works for you,
