Gigabyte GA-7VTXH - Problem with Dual BIOS
란 제목으로 기사가 났더군요
원문은
the "jumper desert" that you were often confronted with on older boards has disappeared on the GA-7VTXH. Instead, Gigabyte automatically recognizes the dual-BIOS feature. If the ROM fails to flash properly, the computer automatically boots up from the second BIOS. Unfortunately, though, this was a particularly dodgy issue in our test - we were using a BIOS version from another Gigabyte board. As a result, the system froze during the boot-up and the board was rendered useless. So anyone accidentally flashing the wrong BIOS version won t necessarily find protection from the second, back-up BIOS.
We sent Gigabyte the the BIOS file that we downloaded from their website. The troublemaker was called 7vtxp_f3.zip. Unzipped it contains the files 7vtxh.f2 and flash848.exe. Therefore we though it was the right BIOS for the GA-7VTXH, which turned out to be wrong. Gigabyte reproduced this problem and wrote us this email:
"The reason why it is possible to flash the wrong BIOS to a GBT motherboard is due to flash utility not correctly executed. I like to thank you for point this one out, due to our carelessness we did not set the BIOS ID auto-detect flag up in the version of flash utility, so if the user did not type the parameter /i to enable the BIOS ID auto-detect than it is possible to write the wrong BIOS onto the motherboard s BIOS. We corrected this issue by providing the new flash utility (8.51 is the latest BIOS flash utility which default is enable for the ID auto-detection) on our web site, which has this parameter set to enable always. This new flash utility will warn the user, if the BIOS is not for his board."
Tom s Hardware still thinks that a jumper selecting between one of the 2 BIOSes could be more effective. We have shown that it is possible to flash the motherboard with a BIOS that was actually intended for a motherboard with a similar name. The write-protected backup BIOS was not accessible afterwards. If the user can set a jumper, so that the motherboard is forced to boot from the backup BIOS, this whole issue would not have been surfaced at all. Generally, we welcome Gigabyte s decision to get rid of too many jumpers on a motherboard. Changing settings in a BIOS setup utiltity is more user-friendly. In this particular case, it would have been better to keep the Dual BIOS jumper known from previous Gigabyte motherboards. Just image you have a flat tire but you can t get the spare wheel out because your trunk is locked.
영어실력이 별로여서 잘은 모르겠는데
다른보드의 문제있는 바이오스를 껴봤는데 백업바이오스가 제대로 작동을 안하고 잘못된 바이오스라고 인식을 한다고 돼있는거 같네여
기가바이트측에서는 바이오스 ID 오토체킹을 안해서 그런것이니 조치하겠다고 하는것 같은데여... 맞나?
이문제 해결 됐나여 국내 시판돼는 메인보드?
잘 아시는 분덜 답변좀 해주세요....
