Abstract:
Intelligently loading legacy option ROMs in a computing system, including: generating, by a legacy option ROM manager, an inventory for the computing system, wherein the inventory for the computing system identifies one or more devices in the computing system; determining, by the legacy option ROM manager for each option ROM available for loading, whether a device supported by the option ROM is included in the inventory for the computing system; responsive to determining that the device supported by the option ROM is not included in the inventory for the computing system, preventing the option ROM from being loaded into an option ROM address space; and responsive to determining that the device supported by the option ROM is included in the inventory for the computing system, enabling the option ROM to be loaded into the option ROM address space.
