There's no generic way.
I understand. Would someone know how to disable SMM in the VIA Pro133T
chipset (VT82C596B south bridge). What I/O ports do I need to write to,
and what values should I write to these ports?
Try disabling USB keyboard emulation and any unused peripherals.
I have disabled everything I could find in the BIOS. Serial and parallel
ports, USB, integrated sound, APM, ACPI, booting from exotic hardware or
from the network. To no avail :-(
Also google "RTAI disable SMM".
I see that they have a Linux kernel module to disable SMM in Intel
chipsets. But I didn't see the equivalent for VIA chipsets.
Is this a laptop? They are plagued with SMM problems...
No it is an "indutrial" motherboard.
Although I don't know what makes it "industrial".
One would really hope that such a device would be designed for machine
control and similar RT apps and thus free of SMM...
Indeed...
I wonder if VIA thinks their old chipsets were industrial-grade.
Regards.
