Known Problems:

Bug Fixes: 

	Added changes to the P64H2 PLL workaround code to
	make the code more robust.

	enabling port 80/post progress code logging for 
	FRB2 caused CMOS corruption issues. This was due 
	to some routines in the INT8 handler not preserving 
	CMOS port 70h. 

	Changed code to only display physical processors 
	during POST. Only physical processor should be 
	displayed on the POST screen. See Netburst 
	Architecture BWG 1.6 article 23. 

	Updated code to properly check for and install 
	microcode patches stored in the user updateable 
	microcode area of flash.

	Updated Promise RAID option ROM. Fixes problem 
	with rebuild on ATA RAID 1. FastTrak TX2000 Lite 
	BIOS Version 2.30.0140.11

SWV20.86B.0491.P04.0209301037
SWV2 Production BIOS 3.00
BIOS Build 0491


Platform supported:

Westville Production Fabs.

Processor supported:
Prestonia
Microcode update versions:
CPUID   Microcode update ID		
F24		0C
F27		25


Firmware revision:

	BMC 19

Update instructions:

(1) Download the BIOS from web site.
(2) Expand the BIOS file.  Run 'BIOS.EXE a:' to expand 
the BIOS onto a bootable floppy.  A: must have a

(3) Update the boot block by running 
	iflash /p P04-0491.BBO
(4) Update the runtime BIOS by running
    1.bat

Known Problems:

	None

Bug Fixes: 

	Added P64H2 Arbiter Erratum & Workarounds and code updates 
	for Device 29 programming and Hub Interface ECC enable bit
	described in Intel 82870P2 PCI/PCI-X 64-bit Hub 2 (P64H2) 
	BIOS Guide revision 1.3.

	Remove code that updates the SMBIOS table type 1 with hard 
	coded product name and version. This should always be 
	obtained from the FRU. 

	Changed size of maximum memory mapped size an addin PCI 
	card can request from 128MBytes to 512MBytes. 

	There was a problem when the address of a memory failure 
	corresponds to a boundary to the DRB regs. BIOS will 
	compare to DRB value normalized to bytes -1. 

	Lock down flash part for SMM only accesses. 

	Fixed the problem that BIOS assumed Intel behavior if 
	BMC access fails. Added a check for SVID. 
	
	Enabled POST progress codes to be logged to the BMC. 

	Preserve the cursor location when displaying "entering setup" 
	message. This will make is so the screen is drawn properly 
	when an option ROM is displaying text to the screen. 
	Previously, the text would be continued on the line above 
	the "entering setup" message. 
	
	Enable checking of front side bus data strobe glitches. 

	Updated Promise RAID option ROM. Fixes problem with rebuild 
	on ATA RAID 1. 

	Fixed code so the user binary is cleared when recovery flash 
	is executed.
