Heads up 2.5.42 does not work with mkelfImage

I just did a quick check and the kernels 32bit entry point has changed again. In particular the segment numbers that are used are different. I am going to see what I can do but this could be a serious problem. Eric

openBIOS and freeBIOS relative to linuxBIOS
by David Barr Oct. 16, 2002

Oct. 16, 2002

Are they dead? After I finished reading through the last three months of mail here, I headed out to a few similar projects to keep digging. Only thing is, the last real post-y type stuff I can find is July '02. Is LinuxBIOS the only one still going? Anyone here have a hand / foot / appendage in any of those other type projects?

Linuxbios for AMD SC520
by Andrew Dennison Oct. 16, 2002

Oct. 16, 2002

Has anyone setup linuxbios for the AMD SC520 (an AMD 486 microcontroller)? I'm looking into doing this for the AMD "CDP" evaluation board and just wanted to check I wasn't re-inventing the wheel... Regards, Andrew

R&D Project
by Justin C. Darby Oct. 15, 2002

Oct. 15, 2002

I'm trying to get together funding for a research project at my company to build a generic platform for high availability devices using Linux, LinuxBIOS, etc, as the software portion. I had some general questions about LinuxBIOS I wanted to ask while I'm still collecting information to report in my project plan. a) I have a requirement of a 4+ PCI slots, compact flash booting via IDE, and a serial console. Video, sound, etc, are pointless for any project we will take on. Onboard network ports are nice. What hardware works best? I don't care about AMD vs. Intel, I want to know what (hopefully easily available) motherboards are best served by LinuxBIOS in general. If this is going to start a flame war, I don't mind personal responses to this question. :) b) Are there any known problems running any types of PCI cards? High speed serial, ethernet, whatever, or if it works with Linux, it should work just fine? c) Can Disk-on-Chip BIOS solutions be reflashed several times? I would like these machines to be remotely upgradeable in all aspects while having a local device to boot from. d) Are any SMP motherboards supported? Thanks for your time, Justin C. Darby

List strangeness and multiple posts
by Gregg C Levine Oct. 15, 2002

Oct. 15, 2002

Hello from Gregg C Levine Here is something strange. I just saw here, on this list, multiple posts, from two different subscribers, each contained the exact same thing. These were sent in HTML format. Can the list processor be configured to reject HTML mail period? And for that matter items of the same subject, except for replies? And if anyone were to examine the multiples, six of them, you would find the subject loaded with the list address, at least several times. The ones on the SiS9000 system, I'll leave alone for now. But the ones on one specific chip set are the ones that I am annoyed about. ------------------- Gregg C Levine hansolofalcon(a)worldnet.att.net ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
