Is there a section for IrDA somewhere in SIV Thank you for your post. SIV checks for GUID_DEVINTERFACE_IRPORT devices and it it finds any then there should be Menu->System->ACPI + PnP->IR Ports , is it there please? For 5.54 Beta-02 I will change the name to ->IRDA Ports and will add Menu->Network …

This is how SMBus looks like with fan plugged and unplugged Thank you for the screen shots and new save files.

I attach fixed file. It works, but doesn't fix wrong multiplier :) I am not surprised. Looking at Menu->Hardware->BIOS Tables->BIOS Tables the only µCode was for Intel (Klamath) [A0], so not even for Coppermine CPUs. I wonder what will get reported for the new BIOS. To fix the ratio the code that …

If you press [ 0_2D ] this should dump all the data and pressing [Timer] should update the data every few seconds. Do …

It POSTs just fine, but displays wrong multiplier. CPU is detected as PENTIUM III 1400MHz (215x6.5). There is no -S suffix. I expect the raw multiplier in MSR 0x002A is 0x1F which is x10.5, but the BIOS is only looking at the low 4 bits as x6.5 is 0x0F. I further suspect the BIOS does not have code …

It's probably down more to that BIOS as AFAIK WXP will report whatever CPUID 80000002/80000003/80000004 reports. I would not be surprised if the same CPU was reported differently on different motherboards!
