11.2 System Firmware Progress (Formerly Post Error)
The BIOS logs any POST errors to the SEL. The two byte POST code gets logged in the ED2 and ED3 bytes in the SEL entry. This event will
be logged every time a POST error is displayed. Even though this event indicates an error, it may not be a fatal error. If this is a serious error,
there will typically also be a corresponding SEL entry logged for whatever was the cause of the error
– this event may contain more information
about what happened than the POST error event.
