Bootblock recovery code checkpoints
The bootblock recovery code gets control when the BIOS determines that a BIOS
recovery needs to occur because the user has forced the update or the BIOS
checksum is corrupt. The following table provides the diagnostic LED codes for
these checkpoints and describes the type of checkpoints that may occur during
the Bootblock recovery portion of the BIOS:
Check
point Description
E0 Initialize the floppy controller in the super I/O. Some interrupt vectors are
initialized. DMA controller is initialized. 8259 interrupt controller is
initialized. L1 cache is enabled.
E9 Set up floppy controller and data. Attempt to read from floppy.
EA Enable ATAPI hardware. Attempt to read from ARMD and ATAPI CDROM.
EB Disable ATAPI hardware. Jump back to checkpoint E9.
EF Read error occurred on media. Jump back to checkpoint EB.
E9 or
EA Determine information about root directory of recovery media.
F0 Search for pre-defined recovery file name in root directory.
F1 Recovery file not found.
F2 Start reading FAT table and analyze FAT to find the clusters occupied by the
recovery file.
F3 Start reading the recovery file cluster by cluster.
F5 Disable L1 cache.
FA Check the validity of the recovery file configuration to the current
configuration of the flash part.
FB Make flash write-enabled through chipset and OEM-specific method.
Detect correct flash part. Verify that the found flash part size equals the
recovery file size.
F4 The recovery file size does not equal the found flash part size.
FC Erase the flash part.
FD Program the flash part.
FF The flash has been updated successfully. Make flash write-disabled. Disable
ATAPI hardware. Restore CPUID value back into register. Give control to
F000 ROM at F000:FFF0h.
