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

I need to get the kernel that I am building for my Geode sc1200
(including the linuxbios code) small enough to fit on a 256K eeprom. Is
this possible? My first attempt resulted in vmlinux of 626K. After
compiling linuxBIOS it gave my a rominage of 448K. Am I missing
something? I tried to strip as much out of the kernel as possible.
John
any ideas?

Thanks for your reply.
I tried as your suggest.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=1024 count=10000 ~ 100000
Segmentation fault's are occured in random by count.
and then, turn off the UDMA feature by hdparm option.
But, I can see same symptom.
In this time, I tried to attach SCSI & IEEE1394 SBP-2 devices.
case1. Adaptec 2930 SCSI adapter + 8GB Seagate SCSI HDD
case2. IEEE1394 Interface card + external IEEE1394 HDD
both cases show the same problem.
Now, I think it's not a DMA problem.
I'm in the maze. hmmmm......
Is there any clear hint?

Hi All,
I am using a small (4"x6") SBC board with a NS Geode GX1 and CS5530
for a project. It's a complete PC on a 3.5" formfactor (300 MHz Geode,
SODIMM, floppy, IDE, CF, serial, Ethernet, USB, keyboard, mouse, Video,
LCD, PC/104). See:
http://www.axiomtek.com/product-info.php?cat=Embedded+PCs&model=SBC84510VEE…
And I'm very interested in using linuxbios with this board (or a similar
board: there are several manufacturers making small boards like this).
I searched the linuxbios mailing-list archives for messages about Geode
systems, but I only found references about SC1200 and SC2200 systems.
And I did't find info on the Geode GX1 in the linuxbios status list.
So my question is:
- anybody know something about the possibility of running linuxbios
on a NS Geode GX1 ?
greetings,
Rob van Nieuwkerk
Hello,
I've gone over the instructions included on the website for the sis
630. I have a few questions on how I can do this if I am not using a
sis 630 winfast mobo. I have a SBC sis530 based machine. I realize that
this board is not supported but I also have the datasheet and don't
mind the work that would be involved in adding support. Before I start
on that though here are my question. It talks about replacing the bios
chip with a DoC. I've looked at this board and what seems to me to be
the bios chip is not the same shape as a DoC it is an AWARD and it is
square. There is a DoC on the machine and it is rectangular. So there
is no way to replace one with the other. Does that make this
impossible? Or is it possible to flash the AWARD BIOS with the
linuxbios code? Or, and I highly doubt this, since there is a DoC on
the board can I simply remove the BIOS chip...
Any suggestions?

Hi,
I've got an Eval card from National Semi that contains
the SC1200. I'd like to try LinuxBios on it.
I've downloaded both the 2.4.18 and 2.4.19 kernels to start with.
What patches do I need to apply to the kernel?
Is there a config file I can use to configure the kernel, or
should I do it manually?
Thanks,
Adam

NEU: Mit GMX ins Internet. Rund um die Uhr für 1 ct/ Min. surfen!
1) win xp runs under bochs now
that means that it probably won't be much harder to get it to
run under real hardware..
2) net bsd
if anyone feels adventurous they are welcome to test out NetBSD.
If will either fully work just like OpenBSD does, or it will boot
like FreeBSD all the way to exec('/sbin/init'); and then slow
down to crawl.
it simply has not been tested so far. the same goes for hurd.
i don't think i'll have time look into either of those soon.
