kernel image size
by John Allen 16 Dec '02

16 Dec '02

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

Order of Execution
by Nathanael Noblet 16 Dec '02

16 Dec '02

Hello, My attempt at a sis530 port seems to be coming along. I am almost ready to compile and try this thing. I am though confused or unclear as to the order that stuff needs to happen. I assume that eventually I initialize RAM and then superIO and all that, what I don't understand is the basic order of execution, this happens and then this needs to and then this ... etc. I have been using as a guide the sis540 chipset and stuff like that to get my configuration files together and as examples, but well since the code for stuff is spread accross trees, what happens when I make one of these projects? Does it take the mainboard.c file first, then the raminit? I'm not sure if I am being as clear as possible, but if anyone has a clue what I'm asking about it would help. For example, the raminit and the chipset specific code is usually assembly, whereas the mainboard.c is well, C. So where does that raminit come into play, and how is it called, IS it called like a function, same goes for the chipset initialization (I guess chip init is tied pretty closely with the ram init stuff but well what happens in what order is what I could use some pointers on.... -- Nathanael Noblet Gnat Solutions 4604 Monterey Ave NW Calgary, AB T3B 5K4 T/F 403.288.5360 C 403.809.5368 http://www.gnat.ca/

Hi, All: I have a problem about boot from network. When I choose the option, the screen shows: Searching for server (DHCP)... When 20 retries completed, it shows: ....No Server Found. I can confirm the package is sent and the server has received it. Who could tell me why? Best Regards, Lawrence

pci-pci bridge woes
by Andrew Kohlsmith 12 Dec '02

12 Dec '02

This isn't a linuxbios problem, but there are many people lurking here who have the knowledge to help (I think...) I've got a backplane system, nothing fancy: 7 ISA and 9 PCI. 5 of the 7 PCI are behind a DEC 21150 PCI-PCI bridge. behind the bridge I have physically installed three RTL8139s, a QuickNet PhoneJACK and a WMP11. Linux was compiled to use direct access for PCI (tried "any" setting and booted with pci=biosirq too) only the WMP11 isn't showing up in lspci. lspci -H1 shows it though. I used to have an Orinoco gold in a PLX-based adaptor and it worked just fine in that same slot. Can anyone help me get this detected so the module can be loaded? I think the bridge is working just fine, since I can access 4 of the 5 devices, but I'm at a loss as to why a direct-pci-accessing kernel cannot find the device, but an lspci -H1 (direct hardware accessing lspci) can. dmesg doesn't show anything interesting at all that I can find, but I've attached it and my lspci dumps. Regards, Andrew
