BIOS Event Log

The BIOS will output the current boot progress codes on the video screen. Progress codes are 32 bit
quantities plus optional data. The 32 bit numbers include Class, Subclass and Operation
information. Class and Subclass point to the type of the hardware that is being initialized, where as
the Operation field represents the specific initialization activity. Based upon the data bit availability
to display Progress Code, a progress code can be customized to fit the data width. The higher the
data bit, higher the granularity of information, which could send on the progress port. The progress
codes may be reported by the system BIOS or the option ROMs.
The Response section in following table is divided in 3 different types
