Hi @Kuri0 , are you talking about the z97 motherboard?
Ok, I’ll search for a spare SSD and I’ll go with something fast to install like Ubuntu.
I’ll get back to you asap.
@Kuri0 Ok, linux works fine with the option enabled in BIOS.
lspci says BAR is still 256Mb but amdgpu drivers are working correctly.
This is the dmesg output:

@prazola yeah it is a DSDT problem like I said. Fixed DSDT will get resizable BAR working on Linux too.
Can you also send the output of “sudo cat /proc/iomem”. I want to make sure there aren’t any resource conflicts when making the DSDT.
Also “cat /proc/cpuinfo”. I think your CPU has 39 bit physical address but I want to make sure.
And send a DSDT dump from “/sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT” so we can test DSDT before BIOS flash.

DSDT dump in the attachment:
cat_n_dd.zip (23.7 KB)
I did these changes to the DSDT.
Added QWordMemory region. EDIT: Added - One to fix error
QWordMemory (ResourceProducer, PosDecode, MinFixed, MaxFixed, Cacheable, ReadWrite,
0x0000000000000000, // Granularity
0x0000000000010000, // Range Minimum
0x000000000001FFFF, // Range Maximum
0x0000000000000000, // Translation Offset
0x0000000000010000, // Length
,, _YAF, AddressRangeMemory, TypeStatic)
CreateQWordField (BUF0, \_SB.PCI0._YAF._LEN, M2LN) // _LEN: Length
CreateQWordField (BUF0, \_SB.PCI0._YAF._MIN, M2MN) // _MIN: Minimum Base Address
CreateQWordField (BUF0, \_SB.PCI0._YAF._MAX, M2MX) // _MAX: Maximum Base Address
// 39-bit for Haswell
M2MX = 0x8000000000 - One
If ((TUUD >= 0x1000))
{
M2MN = (TUUD << 0x14)
}
Else
{
M2MN = 0x0000000100000000
}
M2LN = (M2MX - M2MN) + One
And removed some entries I think aren’t needed (like lid, dock and battery) to reduce the size (this only matters when modifying it in BIOS but better to test now). Resizable BAR should work on Linux now and test stuff like sleep too.
If anything doesn’t work send dmesg output.
DSDTMod.zip (22.3 KB)
Copy DSDTMod.aml to /boot/. While on the GRUB menu press e to edit the Ubuntu entry and add a line acpi /boot/DSDTMod.aml at the end and press CTRL+X to boot.
If it all works we can go to the next step of getting the modded DSDT into the BIOS so it works on Windows.

Grat job Kuri0, it works!
Awesome now I’ll send modded BIOS with the DSDT. Hope you have a BIOS flasher though in-case anything goes wrong
Not anymore, but the Mobo has two removable BIOS chip, so I should be safe.
Z97Ex9_200_DSDT.zip (4.4 MB)
@prazola Here is the BIOS with modded DSDT. I used AmiBoardInfoTool to edit it.
If it all works next step is adding the Resizable BAR DXE and hope we don’t need modifications to PciHostBridge (difficult)
Windows 10 show a blue screen with acpi error.
Stop code acpi bios error.
Fedora works fine.
The PCI submenu is not present in BIOS
@prazola Can you send full dmesg log ? I probably did something wrong when reducing size which caused the ACPI error and Linux should tell why. I didn’t base it on the BIOS by boombastik so it won’t have the submenu (still can use setup_var to enable 4g)
It’s most likely this error causing the BSOD:
acpi PNP0A08:00: host bridge window [mem 0x420000000-0x8000000000 window] ([0x8000000000-0x8000000000] ignored, not CPU addressable)
I’ll fix that and send another BIOS
@prazola
Here is fixed DSDT BIOS. I’ve fixed the error I mentioned.

Nice!
@prazola Now that all problems with 4G Decoding are fixed I inserted the Resizable BAR DXE driver before PciHostBridge with UEFITool.
Z97Ex9ReBar.zip (4.4 MB)
After flashing that BIOS. I recommend you compile the tool RebarState from source code ReBarState.cpp · GitHub because it’s most likely going to set off antivirus warnings since it writes to UEFI variables. If you don’t want to compile it you can find it in the ZIP below.
ReBarState.zip (8.5 KB)
Start by setting it to 9 and reboot. Keep increasing it by 1 until either you get Resizable BAR full size (16GB for you) or you get black screen/POST error (this means PciHostBridge needs patching).
Always make sure 4G decoding is enabled if RebarState is set or you will get black screen
If you get black screen/POST error you can fix it by booting without GPU inserted and setting RebarState to 0. Or restore the previous BIOS through flashing or swapping chip.

I cannot build it, SetFirmwareEnvironmentVariableEx function is not declared.
@prazola
Using Visual Studio ? I don’t get any errors building it on Visual Studio 2022. SetFirmwareEnvironmentVariableEx is included in the Windows.h header
Also make sure to build it x64

Was using codeblocks. I’m using your exe now.
Ok, the max I get is 2^13, then black screen:
Ok @Kuri0 I think you just made my day! REBAR working also for AMD control panel. If you’ll ever get in Trento (Italy) I owe you dinner and drinks.
Thank you very much, I really wasn’t expecting this responsivness, felt like better than an official AsRock support! <3
