[LinuxBIOS] APIC_CLUSTER and PCI 19.x?
YhLu, Could you tell me why by moving apci_cluster in front of other devices, we only need one chip cpu/x/y/z? And why we don't have to list 19.x neither? -- Li-Ta Lo <ollie@lanl.gov> Los Alamos National Lab

BTW, how about dual core? Do I have to list every core in chip apic_cluster and chip northbirdge? -- Li-Ta Lo <ollie@lanl.gov> Los Alamos National Lab
No. For dual core, the second cores entries is created automatically. So you can use one image to support dual core and single ..... YH On 7/14/05, Li-Ta Lo <ollie@lanl.gov> wrote:

1. I want cpu (ecc....mtrr ) is initialized before all pci device. otherwise the onboard vga can not initialized properly with your VGA option rom and emulator. 2. The Northbridge will create the corresponding entries include apic_cluster and 19.x.... , so if sth is not installed, there is warning.... YH On 7/14/05, Li-Ta Lo <ollie@lanl.gov> wrote:

I know. But my question is why we now only have to list one apic cluster and 19.x in the Config.lb?
2. The Northbridge will create the corresponding entries include apic_cluster and 19.x.... , so if sth is not installed, there is warning....
Do you mean the northbridge on 18.x will create the device structures for apci 1 and 19.x ? Where in the code is this done? -- Li-Ta Lo <ollie@lanl.gov> Los Alamos National Lab

So is it safe to move apci_cluster to the front of devices and remove pci 19.x in every K8 mainboard config.lb ? -- Li-Ta Lo <ollie@lanl.gov> Los Alamos National Lab
YES, and if you want to enable onboard vga, you must do that. YH On 7/15/05, Li-Ta Lo <ollie@lanl.gov> wrote:
