Subject: [PATCH] Update iBFT to 1.03
Date: Fri, 9 Apr 2010 14:21:26 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1270822888-13192-1-git-send-email-konrad@kernel.org> (raw)
This patch writen by Peter Jones and Mike Christie expands on the
iBFT firmware driver to support v1.03 of the spec. The spec in question is
available at:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/systems/support/bladecenter/iscsi_boot_firmware_table_v1.03.pdf
Linux kernel has support for the iBFT 1.0 spec and this update to 1.03
adds three more things:
- There is now a ACPI table either called 'iBFT' or 'IBFT' that should
be parsed.
- If running with UEFI, only look at the ACPI table.
- If not found within ACPI tables, fall back to the old mechanism of scanning
memory for the signature.
It has been tested with gPXE and also a real hardware (Mike, did I get that right?)
