Does anyone know if IPMI works under LinuxBIOS? AFAIK, there is a Linux
driver patch but dunno if it still works under LinuxBIOS.

Hi,
After the lart project, I would like to know if some one has done a board
with SA1110 and where I can found:
1) schematic, gerber, orcad files....
2) Bios and Linux software
3) tools (compilator, linker, debugger)...
4) Application (do you know if there is a list of Lart/SA1110 applications )
4) vendor board.
Thank you for your help.
When I will have answers I send you back.

Hi,
Does anyone know which model of the bios savior is needed for via eden
motherboards? I would like to try out LinuxBIOS, but would like to have an
easy way back if anything goes wrong.

Ron,
Is this the Advanced Digital Logic MSMP3-S?
I had been talking to Gary Karns at ADL about getting the Linuxbios running on our system. We are using the MSMP5 (PII/266) - Gary tells me they use the same board, only the processor and graphics chip are different - and I don't know how this will interact with linuxbios.
We are looking to use linuxbios on our medical monitoring system, mainly for (boot) speed issues. I am happy to help out with development tasks, provided I am comfortable with level of effort needed.
I will touch bases with Gary on this.
Thanks
Phil

Subject: smartcore PIII is up; G2 & G4 efforts started.
This is a PIII?750 in a PC/104 form factor. Fast!
This one was a pain. Where it stands:
- it is up, but I have to set IOBASE to 0x2000. There is hardware (ACPI)
at 0x1000 that I can't get to turn off, it seems. This problem has
never cropped up on piix4e before, so I'm not sure what happened here
- etherboot still can't work the ethernet interface. But it can load
from IDE, and Linux has no troubles at all, so we put a beoboot
Phase 1 boot in CF and let etherboot load Linux, which then boots.
Other than that it works fine. I'm working on a better solution to these
problems.
On another note, we have several folks starting G2 and G4 work. Just FYI.

Hi,
I am porting the linux bios to the evaluation board SBC8240.
This is almost the same processor has the MAC but a little bit smaller.
This board looks like a PC without a box, keyboard and mouse.
Have a nice day!

Cool, are you working on an off the shelf MAC ??

My eden motherboard has a PLCC socket, and the image of an eden motherboard
on the via website (http://www.viavpsd.com/product/4/8/epia_mini_itx_H.jpg)
shows a socket as well, so i'm assuming that all of the eden boards do. I'm
also going to get a bios savior for it which will make hot-swapping as easy
as pie. This only costs about £30, so is well worth getting.

A number of the Giga-byte boards seem to have the bios soldered, in
particular the the GA-6VEML (the Walmart $199 computer). The Via Eden
appears to also but I am just looking at the photo. For the EPIA, if you
bongo the PLCC (socketed), you'll need another PLCC bios mobo to fix it and
hot swapping a PLCC has got to require a deft touch.

Hello. In our PCBIOS efforts, we're running into a snag.
We're experience corruption of our shadow memory region, even after we've
set it to read only (using the sis630).
mov eax, #0x80000070
mov dx, #0x0cf8
out dx, eax
mov eax, #0x0000FFFF
mov dx, #0x0cfc
out dx, eax
we're not doing any pci writes at this point (once we've set it to read
only), so does anyone else have any theories on what could cause this?
Here's an example of the insanity going on:
Here, the bios has finished and we're ready to run lilo. The shadow memory
is correct:
000F3189L 260F015408 LGDT fword ptr ES:[SI]+08
000F318EL 2E0F011E69F8 LIDT fword ptr CS:[f869]
000F3194L B002 MOV AL,02
000F3196L E680 OUT 80,AL
Then, we run lilo and we load an unmodified linux kernel. After a random
amount of calls to int13 and int15 to copy the kernel into memory
(sometimes it just takes 20 or so, sometimes 58, and sometimes it doesn't
happen at all) the shadow memory gets corrupted. and we get stuff like
this:
000F3199L 260F01B002E6 LMSW word ptr ES:[BX+SI]+e602
000F319FL 80011E ADD byte ptr [BX+DI],1e
000F31A2L 69F883C8 IMUL DI,AX,c883
As you see, its all scrambled. The op codes get into a weird order.
I'll try to illustrate with this mapping..
260F015408 2E0F011E69F8 B002 E680
1111111111 222222222222 3333 4444
260F01B002E6 80011E 69F883C8
111111333344 442222 2222
and the addresses in general are all shifted down.
Any ideas, suggestions, insights?

[ This is a resend; I inadvertently posted it the first time from a defunct
e-mail acct. ]
Last weekend I was looking at installing LinuxBIOS on my Tyan S2462,
and got to the point of building the romimage, but couldn't figure out how
to flash it. devbios (from CVS) reported (in /proc/bios) that it was an
unsupported Macronix part, and flash_rom (from linuxbios CVS) didn't
appear to recognize it either.
Am I doing something really stupid or simply looking in the wrong place?
Thanks,
Bill Rugolsky
