POST (hex) Description
Initial interrupts vector table. If no special specified, all
1Bh:
H/W interrupts are directed to SPURIOUS_INT_HDLR &
S/W interrupts to SPURIOUS_soft_HDLR.

1Dh
Load keyboard matrix (notebook platform)
1Fh:
HPM initialization (notebook platform)
21h:
1. Check validity of RTC value:
23h:
e.g. a value of 5Ah is an invalid value for RTC minute.
2. Load CMOS settings into BIOS stack. If CMOS
checksum fails, use default value instead.
Prepare BIOS resource map for PCI & PnP use. If ESCD
24h:
is valid, take into consideration of the ESCD's legacy
information.
Early PCI Initialization:
25h:
-Enumerate PCI bus number.
-Assign memory & I/O resource
-Search for a valid VGA device & VGA BIOS, and put it into
C000:0
