You could remove RAM and probably also CPU from the system then, and you wouldn't need to start the south or north bridge, just the super io. Just find the first debug message after serial init and change it to what you want to output. Mvh Anders - Reply message - Fra: "Masoud Fatollah

Hi, I can not be sure about that because of this firmware trap feature of the chipsets I mention. So are those firmware traps in the SIS chipsets are effective on the boot process of the processor? Or any other reasons? I think they are independent of CPU itself. It usually configures some reg
