Rome bios on rev 1 motherboard?

[Quantum]

I have a Tyan GT62FB8026 and want to use the Epyc Rome (7002 series) CPUs on it.

The Naples (7001 series) CPU boots fine.

I flashed the latest bios V2.01.B40 over IPMI but it is still not booting the Rome CPU.

It is stuck at code 0022 on the bios.

Does anyone know what to try next?

Which CPU do you have? Their site lists only 2 Rome CPUs as compatible. Other low-power SKUs should probably work, but the highest wattage Rome CPUs might be an actual problem.

I couldn't find the meaning of the 0022 post code, so I'm not sure what that means. It could be a bios problem. I modded your bios a bit, could you give this a try and report back if it works or not?

I'm testing with a retail Epyc 7262 which is low TDP and only 8 cores. Should be OK.

Thanks for the mod. It is still hanging at 0022.

Over IPMI it says:
BIOS Firmware
BIOS version
V1.04.B40
Build Date
12/20/2018
----
V1.04 corresponds to Naples

Could it be still loading the Naples portion of the ROM?

I've actually replaced the naples part of the rom, so that's not possible. I'm not really sure what's going on without having an explanation of code 22.

Are you sure it's actually updating the bios? On the page it says you need to flash it via IC programmer or BMC Webgui.

"**Please update BIOS by IC programmer or BMC WEBGUI method upgrade method when first update ROME support BIOS from Naples support only BIOS."

I'm using the IPMI/BMC to do the flash. I agree it's strange and will poke into it more.
