I think, I have found the failure. if write_protect_vgabios() is called, it searches by dev_find_device(0x1106, 0x3123, 0) for the device dev
if dev valid, it write protected the vgabios. But it seems the via epia-ml vga device ID is 3122. I have seen this on the console output before write_protect_vgabios is called. Found VGA: vid=1106, did=3122 Unfortunatly the printk_info messages "write_protect_vgabios" comes before the bios is protected. I will try a new Linuxbios with changes on dev_find_device() and hope all will work fine :D chris -- LinuxBIOS mailing list LinuxBIOS@openbios.org http://www.openbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
