Backup PCI Express FADT override flags
4/3/ :53 PM Backup PCI Express FADT override flags BOOT_ARCH Bit Length Bit Offset Description LEGACY_DEVICES 1 If set, indicates that the motherboard supports user-visible devices on the LPC or ISA bus. User-visible devices are devices that have end-user accessible connectors (for example, LPT port), or devices for which the OS must load a device driver so that an end-user application can use a device. If clear, the OS may assume there are no such devices and that all devices in the system can be detected exclusively via industry standard device enumeration mechanisms (including the ACPI namespace). 8042 If set, indicates that the motherboard contains support for a port 60 and 64 based keyboard controller, usually implemented as an 8042 or equivalent micro-controller. VGA Not Present 2 If set, indicates to OSPM that it must not blindly probe the VGA hardware (that responds to MMIO addresses A0000h-BFFFFh and IO ports 3B0h-3BBh and 3C0h-3DFh) that may cause machine check on this system. If clear, indicates to OSPM that it is safe to probe the VGA hardware. MSI Not Supported 3 If set, indicates to OSPM that it must not enable Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI) on this platform. PCIe ASPM Controls 4 If set, indicates to OSPM that it must not enable ASPM on this platform. Reserved 11 5 Must be 0. © 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
