Booting over Fast Ethernet
by Miguel A. Mota Jr. 05 Oct '02

05 Oct '02

Dear Mailing list members, I'm Miguel A. Mota Jr., Co-Founder and President of the Woodrow Wilson High School Science & Technology Club in Camden, New Jersey USA. With a few small grants from Lucent Technologies/Bell Labs, we have developed a parallel-processing Linux Cluster based on openMosix cluster technology. In a attempt to make this new technology more useful and efficient, I have integrated LAM-MPI and PVM into our cluster, giving it certain advantages of a Beowulf Cluster. … [View More]

PCChips M758LMR+ works for me but...
by Todd E. Johnson 04 Oct '02

04 Oct '02

Hi again all, I am able to boot and get X up. It takes about 45 seconds, which is not bad, but it is a bit more than I was expecting. sshd takes up a bit of this time though. I have most everything else disabled. One of the largest problems is that none of the onboard USB ports work. Also, none of the PCI cards I am using appears to work as well (Which all of the devices work fine with the factory bios). Finally, I unfortunately rely heavily on ACPI to startup and shutdown the system. I … [View More]

Did the following... `flash_on` `modprobe docprobe doc_config_location=0xfffc8000` Using configured DiskOnChip probe address 0xfffc8000 DiskOnChip Millennium found at address 0xFFFC8000 Flash chip found: Manufacturer ID: 98, Chip ID: E6 (Toshiba TC58V64AFT/DC) 1 flash chips found. Total DiskOnChip size: 8 MiB Gotta mailing list archives... I take it that I should rebuild the kernel w/ CONFIG_MTD_DOCPROBE_HIGH ? Regards, Todd E. Johnson tejohnson(a)yahoo.com

RE: nonsense C/H/S values for CF (used in ide)

I have a cs5530 chip that drives IDE.. and southbridge/nsc/cs5530/southbridge.c is used to enable the IDE. isn't this the same as rr2? what patch were you referring to when you told me I needed a patch to read C/H/S values correctly?

nonsense C/H/S values for CF (used in ide)
by Q-ha Park 03 Oct '02

03 Oct '02

I have a board with gx1, pc97317 and cs5530a with one ide slot. I've been booting linux with Phoenix bios so far with no problems, and I tried linuxBIOS to boot linux. but I noticed strange C/H/S values like "init_drive sectors_per_track=[768], num_heads=[768], num_cylinders=[768]". and it failed to boot. does anyone have similar problems like this? Phoenix bios sees the device and read the values correctly... thanks, Q

by Todd E. Johnson 03 Oct '02

03 Oct '02

Hi all, I purchased what I believed to be 2 DOC Millennium chips from Tri-M, but the part number is: MD-2800-D08 Is this right?!? Because this is the `dmesg` output when I try to burn the ROM: Possible DiskOnChip with unknown ChipID 00 found at 0xc8000 Possible DiskOnChip with unknown ChipID 35 found at 0xca000 Possible DiskOnChip with unknown ChipID FF found at 0xcc000 Possible DiskOnChip with unknown ChipID FF found at 0xce000 Possible DiskOnChip with unknown ChipID FF found at 0xd0000 … [View More]

athlon board choice
by David Thomas 03 Oct '02

03 Oct '02

I've been researching a board for cluster computing. This is my wishlist 1. Dual Athlon 2. At least 2GB RAM capactity. DDR or other high-speed is critical. 3. midrange -- not dell or ibm for cost reasons 4. Integrated video and 10/100 NIC, dual NIC a plus, SCSI not necessary 5. 1U or 2U ATX form factor 6. Lots of hardware monitoring. ASIC/IPMI a must. 7. (of course) will run LinuxBIOS I've tetatively settled on a Tyan Thunder K7 S2462 and I've had reasonable experiences with the … [View More]

RE: Images and ZIF DIP
by Todd E. Johnson 02 Oct '02

02 Oct '02

Hi Ollie, Why do you think I wanted to gauge how fast it would boot ;) ? Isn't research fun? Actually Hui-Fen helped me out with the SiS 900 NIC driver for a BioStar M5SAF. It was some issue with the PHY. It worked great, but alas, it is time to upgrade! Most people would perhaps consider me insane... See what working for the Government can do to a guy? This is a hobby to keep me sane... If you find it interesting, you may want to check out http://www.dashpc.com/ Regards, Todd E.… [View More]
