Just reset and go. If you close the bsd you'll never see PCI problems of values that are not cleared on a reset or CMOS problems. Since switching the BIOS only changes the code the simulation runs, I would have thought it would be totally safe. If we can't trust that it makes life a lot more interesting. When you press the "log config space" button, do you know where the log goes? In the log you can see that PCI bus 0 device 6 is initialized, but bus 1 never shows up anywhere. Bus 1 is the PCI bus from the bridge at bus 0 dev 6 as far as I can tell. > I'm not totally inclined to totally trust the sim depending on how you > are doing the switch.

I always start with the same bsd, no matter what I'm doing. Thanks, Myles -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
