Hi Community,
I just joined the community (but read vogons for several years now, just never wrote)
But the time has come to change that, because I am stuck with my Shuttle HOT-433 Board´s BIOS.
I am trying to include several ROM modules and ACPI tables (yes, really) into the BIOS image for testing and flash them to the chip.
But I can´t. The resulting image is unable too boot at all, just beeps indicating a faulty BIOS.
Here is what I did:
Used my TL866II plus universal programmer to write the image (see attachement) to the chip.
It is a shuttle hot 433 bios 2A4X5H21C-00 back from 2001
Works fine.
I check the image with cbrom (several versions) and try to include e.g. a picture, remove a picture, add rom modules etc.
The problem: The resulting image is always not working. Even if I just extract a pic and put it back. Or if I use awdbedit, or modbin, the slightest change results in a non working image.
I tried several different Award BIOS images for the HOT-433 (Rev. 3)
The latest one is from year 2001, see attachement.
It works just fine unless I edit it the slightest bit.
I don´t understand what I am doing wrong.
Can anyone help with this?
