power connectors for mainboards
by ron minnich July 18, 2003

July 18, 2003

I have four K7SEMs which I would like to run from one PC power supply. Does anyone know if there are off-the-shelf cables available to do this type of thing? Essentially a "Y" connector for the mainboard power connector. ron

[PATCH] Fix to elfboot checksum problem
by SONE Takeshi July 7, 2003

July 7, 2003

Hi, I think I've at last found a bug in elfboot.c. Until this fix, I had always needed to disable verify code in elfboot.c to get it work. Now it boots ELF kernel with BOOT_IDE perfectly. One of doubly-linked chain was not initialized. I think it did not cause problem when memory near address 0 comes up with zeroes. But my raminit.inc leaves gabages there so some bogus memory ranges have been included in checksum. -- Takeshi Index: src/lib/elfboot.c =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/freebios/freebios/src/lib/elfboot.c,v retrieving revision 1.15 diff -u -r1.15 elfboot.c --- src/lib/elfboot.c 10 Oct 2002 22:23:43 -0000 1.15 +++ src/lib/elfboot.c 30 Jun 2003 18:11:26 -0000 @@ -368,6 +368,7 @@ int i; memset(head, 0, sizeof(*head)); head->next = head->prev = head; + head->phdr_next = head->phdr_prev = head; for(i = 0; i < headers; i++) { struct segment *new; /* Ignore data that I don't need to handle */

move to bitkeeper?
by ron minnich July 1, 2003

July 1, 2003

sourceforge is really having trouble nowadays. Half my browsers think the web pages are to be downloaded for some reason; cvs updates are seeing 24-hour delays; and random outages are a daily occurence. I've noticed that lots of high-profile projects are now mastering on bitkeeper.com, including the linux kernel and the infiniband project. Any comments or objections to me at least looking into a move to bitkeeper.com? It has lots of advantages, not the least that it supports distributed repositories. Anyone have anything to say about this, pro or con? ron

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 30 Jun 2003 16:09:02 +0800 From: Andrew Ip <aip(a)cwlinux.com> Subject: [commit] epia-m again Hi, Since I'm no cvs expert in un-remove file from the source tree, it took much longer than I thought. Also, Sourceforge is slow and unstable lately. My checkins weren't shown up from either cvs view and cvs co 'till I looked at it again this afternoon. Anyway, epia-m is just committed. -Andrew -- Andrew Ip Email: aip(a)cwlinux.com Tel: (852) 2542 2046 Fax: (852) 2542 2036 Mobile: (852) 9201 9866 Cwlinux Limited Unit 202B 2/F Lai Cheong Factory Building, 479-479A Castle Peak Road, Lai Chi Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong.

Re: K8 + 2.4.21 + SuSE 64-bit mode + Arima HDAMA + 49LF040 + MTD

Eric, I have some questions about the APIC. How can I change the Second Opteron's APIC_ID? DO I need to make the second CPU run and its process access (APIC_DEFAULT_BASE+APIC_ID) and set (1<<24) to it. Then When should start the process in auto.c or hardwaremain.c ( startup_other_cpus function)? I have tried to add one branch in auto.c and seems the second cpu start only from crt0.base. and it try copy LinBIOS and Jump Regards Yinghai Lu -----邮件原件----- 发件人: ron minnich [mailto:rminnich@lanl.gov] 发送时间: 2003年6月25日 8:13 收件人: linuxbios(a)clustermatic.org 主题: K8 + 2.4.21 + SuSE 64-bit mode + Arima HDAMA + 49LF040 + MTD The above combination works pretty well until I try to program the part, at which point the kernel takes an oops and dies. I'm wondering if anyone else has either: - seen this work - seen this fail thanks ron _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list Linuxbios(a)clustermatic.org http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios

Hi all: I reinstall my rh8.0 today, and i try to flash the image(the one i download from cwlinux) to the doc on my m810lmr board, nothing error message(the same as before, all seem normal), and when i reboot, it cannot boot. I try another DOC, and the same problem. I'm sure no problem with the image. I got the same trouble when i upgrade my linux to rh9.0 before, so i changed something, then it ok, but i can't remmber what i have done..... Any advices? Thanks in advance! ivan --http://www.eyou.com --ÎÈ¶š¿É¿¿µÄÃâ·Ñµç×ÓÐÅÏä ÓïÒôÓÊŒþ ÒÆ¶¯ÊéÇ© ÈÕÀú·þÎñ ÍøÂçŽæŽ¢...ÒÚÓÊÎŽŸ¡

Maybe I m just missing something, but I thought some merging of efforts might be in place.. http://sourceforge.net/projects/u-boot/ Regards /David
