--- Comment #93 from Egbert Eich
One more question to Intel.
There's a question whether the NVM we're talking about here is actually larger, and is used by components other than the e1000e. If for instance the video BIOS maps all of the NVM and, due to some bug, scribbles over parts of it that include the e1000e's config space - is there a way to verify this?
I don't think this is the case: the driver only maps the POSTed copy of the VBIOS. This is copied into RAM at POST time (to the 0xC-segment). This copy is then made read only. This copy is (should be) entirely independent of the EEPROM containing the PCI ROM. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
