ABSTRACT:
Methods and computer systems provide for the selection of a DSDT that accurately describes a current configuration of the computer system. Because the system configuration can change over time, such as due to hardware malfunctions or the addition or removal of hardware requiring a BIOS interface to software, multiple DSDTs are available for selection so that for each computer system configuration, an appropriate DSDT is available. Upon boot-up, the hardware of the computer system is analyzed to determine the set of available North Bridge chipset devices. An appropriate DSDT is then selected from a set of multiple DSDTs for the current computer system configuration.
