What's new?#
startup#
- New processors (ex. core i3, i5, i7) are now correctly identified
- By default startup-apic will now use High Precision Event Timer 0 for the system clock (instead of the 8254) on Intel based platforms.
- For certain Atom based platforms, target would hang when running 'shutdown'
- Startup now set the CR4MSE bit on chips that support it
- Latest IOAPIC related fixes are included
pci-bios-v2#
- Fixed a problem in check_range function that was causing problems with PCI/PCI bridges.
- Changed the code in pci_alloc_irq() to only allocate every second item in the IRQ list when MSI/X interrupts are requested. Also reduced the maximum number of interrupts to 16.
- Added a check in avail_irq for a no-connection instance. (0xff)
devnp-e1000.so #
- Updated driver to correctly display SerDes in nicinfo and also fixed a problem with link detection
- Changed init and event logic so that MSIX interrupts call directly into their respective interrupt service routines.
- Fixed a problem where the RCTL bits have changed for later chipsets.
- Made a change to stop the 82583V chipset from using MSI-X. According to Intel, the device doesn't support MSI-X.
- Updated the driver to support the 82579 chipset.
