But I should still see 4GB without any patch. Right? Windows only see 1.92GB as “Installed Memory (RAM)” in Control Panel->System. I am happy for the system to see up to 4GB only. From: Zoran Stojsavljevic [mailto:zoran.stojsavlje...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, 7 June 2016 1:13 PM To: Naveed Ghori

Sorry I meant v36_15_0_1091 (x86) which is the latest on the Intel website that I can find. I cannot find v36.15.0.1127. I am quite sure the driver is OK but that there is something else fundamental causing the BSOD. I have used it on another system (non coreboot) with an E3845 processor.

Hello Naveed, For you to read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension Important: With PAE, IA-32 architecture is augmented with additional address lines used to select the additional memory, so physical address size increases from 32 bits

Hello Naveed, Little bit of google searching: http://wikifixes.com/en/errors/0x/0xC005/?gclid=CJDYx4WIlc0CFY9uGwodBrIHbQ As I understood, you are using 36.15.0.1 (x86 aka 32b). This is very old one. The latest to use is: 36.15.0.1127 for x86 and 37.15.0.1127 for x86_64. Please, contact

Hi all, I am booting a 32 bit Win 7 image (via Seabios). Windows is detecting only 1.92GB (even though there is 8GB of memory available. Being a 32 bit OS I would have expected it to see at least 4GB. Coreboot logs shows: Available memory below 4GB: 0x7ae0 (1966M) Available memory above

Hi all, I have Windows Embedded Standard 7 x86 working in with SeaBIOS. If I install the graphics driver for it however I get a BSOD while Windows is booting up (screen flashes before the BSOD) As a Coreboot newbie it would be good to get an idea as to what may cause this. I am thinking video

Hi all, I noticed that seabios/libpayload could have interresting use cases and I want to share/discuss them. 1) Have a SeaBIOS be a UEFI application. This would benefit on UEFI platforms without CSM. 2) Provide a minimum UEFI environment. As I noticed u-boot started to have such support. In

I'm getting the sense here that reasonably modern CPUs can easily handle the 2G hole. From what I've seen, it would not cause trouble for older CPUs because they're most likely to be in small systems that are not likely to have more than 2G memory anyway (I'm thinking of the vortex). The 2G hole

Hi all, Most of 32-bit kernels (Unix/OS/whatever) usually have PAE support, so in fact they can cope with 36 bits of memory. The CPU PAE support started around Pentium. Windows XP+ has support for this. I think one can go with 2GB MMIO hole. The PCIe > 4GB is a question, I don't think
