[Firmware Bug]: No firmware reserved region can cover this RMRR

While I was going thru dmesg, I found this

[    0.128307] DMAR: [Firmware Bug]: No firmware reserved region can cover this RMRR [0x000000009d800000-0x000000009fffffff], contact BIOS vendor for fixes
[    0.128309] DMAR: [Firmware Bug]: Your BIOS is broken; bad RMRR [0x000000009d800000-0x000000009fffffff]
               BIOS vendor: Insyde; Ver: F.50; Product Version: Type1ProductConfigId

Can anyone tell me how to fix this firmware bug??

Thanks in advance!

If it is not causing an issue I would ignore the message.  If there is no firmware update for the system's mainboard follow the instruction in the message.

I tried updating the Bios using FreeDos but failed because Hp does not support Bios update via FreeDos
Any workaround??

Any Hp user who have successfully updated their Bios via FreeDos, please help!!

Depends on your motherboard. For example, Gigabyte motherboards support Q-Flash, a flash utility that comes with the BIOS. It reads the new image from a USB drive.

fwupd supports a few HP system's.  You did not provide details of the system so I do not know if yours is one of them.  Also to note the new firmware may not fix the issue and may introduce new issues.
