HP Compaq 8000 Elite BIOS hidden settings
I happened to run dmidecode on it and noticed L1 cache is disabled, there is no visible option in BIOS to enable it. I wonder if there are hidden options which could be used to enable L1 cache. Or maybe flash in similar BIOS which has this option. I don't have to use their utility, flashrom will flash in anything. Or maybe Coreboot? Need to investigate ...
All thoughts and hints are welcome! |

Not sure how much I'd trust dmicode on the reply. However, anytime you try to mess with this critical component you run a risk. HP does some odd stuff. They seem to lock some things for unknown reasons. Now they won't even offer bios updates unless you pay. Coreboot is a thread by itself. |
Thanks, I was thinking more about some "secret" key combination to make hidden options visible in BIOS setup, some manufacturers have such key combinations. Your response adds a new angle, modifying settings from OS.
