No, but the module that contains the SLIC table (pubkey and marker) could have a checksum.....therefore to disassemble rompaq and figure how to calculate valid sums would be great....
HP530 Success!!!! Tried and tested on a HP530 which did have slic 2.0 The entry in the RSDT is a bit odd, SLIC_Dump tool reports the entry as "HP 30D5" but it activated non the less! Well done Hotpepper - have a virtual beer or 2 on me.
Too bad, I was afraid of. HPQFlash DOES NOT update the SLIC at bioses containing 2 occurrences of marker....last chance is to patch rompaq or to correct the sums...
Hi, so I think we figured out how to update a HP BIOS with just one SLIC marker in it. Next level is how to do that with a BIOS that has 2 markers in it.
Absolutely right, I hope mutante can figure something about the sums, disassenbling / patch rompaq... HPQ-flash doesn't update....hmmm are there some settings to change...or switches--hpq flash don't start at my PC.....
Sorry I need the entire reportfile....something is strange to me....it should NOT activate...thanks again...need to know about XSDT table..
Ah yes.....if acpi revision = 2.0 and XSDT OEMIDs are matching to SLIC (I guess so) then RSDT OEMIDs could be different.....OK...rw-everything doesn't dump the XSDT for some reason....back to HP...thanks for the report...
To be perfectly honest i am just happy that the method seems to work, i just hope it leads to an easier method for those not happy with doing this. Thanks to all you bios experts.
