  • Information handling system pre-boot fault management
    Patent number: 10365961
    Abstract: An information handling system pre-boot fault monitor tracks errors detected before boot of an operating system and stores the errors in persistent memory as error hashes generated from information associated with the error. Corrective actions associated with error hashes are determined by data mining error hashes provided from a population of deployed systems and stored in the persistent memory of the deployed systems. As the pre-boot fault monitor detects errors, a matching comparison between detected error hashes and stored corrective action hashes provides pre-boot instructions with corrective actions so that boot can be completed and the error managed with the operating system after POST.
