POST Error Messages and Handling
The POST Error Manager displays error messages reported by the system BIOS during
POST. The system BIOS truncates the 32-bit EFI POST Progress Code associated with
the error to 16-bit values for display in the POST Error Manager.
The POST Error Manager behavior in response to the error is defined by the error severity
reported by the BIOS. Errors are categorized in one of three severity levels. The system
behavior in response to severity level of:
Fatal
The BIOS logs an error to the POST Error Manager.
The BIOS logs an error message to the BMC System Event Log (SEL).
The BIOS unconditionally enters POST Error Manager to display error
message.
The BIOS halts the system to prevent boot.
The user needs to replace the faulty part and restart the system.
Major
The BIOS logs an error to the POST Error Manager.
The BIOS logs an error message to the BMC System Event Log (SEL).
The BIOS continues booting in a degraded state by default (i.e. BIOS does not
automatically enter the POST Error Manager to display the error message).
0xF8
Operating system has requested EFI to close boot services
(ExitBootServices ( ) has been called)
0xF9
Operating system has switched to virtual address mode
(SetVirtualAddressMap ( ) has been called)
0xFA
Operating system has requested a system reset (ResetSystem
() has been called)
Pre-EFI Initialization Module (PEIM) / Recovery
