---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: linuxbios Date: Mon, 26 Aug 2002 18:19:53 +0800 From: "John Usher (Maptek)" <John.Usher(a)perth.maptek.com.au> To: <rminnich(a)lanl.gov> G'day... I have been working on getting LinuxBIOS running on an Arbor EmCore i6352 Single Board Computer, http://www.arbor.com.tw/mini/emcore-i6352.htm and currently have the BIOS working well booting the Linux kernel off of a special partition on a flash IDE drive on the motherboard. I am currently looking into the changes I have made to LinuxBIOS to merge my changes into the latest so I can submit them. The main changes I have had to make are to do with on-board memory and multiple onboard superio chips, and initialisation of the onboard graphics adapter in the simplest fashion possible. The company I work for is looking at getting this software into a new embedded product which will be used for resource tracking. ...John...

Hello, List, I need the following clarification about the LinuxBios boot up information 1. Can LinuxBios boot from CDROM? 2. Can LinuxBios boot from a SCSI Disk? 3. Does anybody have a FAQ or collected information about how the LinuxBios bootup sequence works? Thanks, Balbir Singh.

Greetings, Very intrigued by your work and love the results. It seems to me that mainboard vendors will not be helpful in any way toward this work per your note re: Intel and their newer chipsets. That being my general take on the situation, do you folks know anyone even *beginning* to deal with ServerWorks/SuperMicro boards? Specifically this one: http://www.supermicro.com/PRODUCT/MotherBoards/GC_LE/P4DL6.htm I want to contribute to your efforts with this board, but don't even know where to begin yet. If anyone is working on this general species, I'd love to know so I can get a head start. Even better, if someone is willing to figure it out and make it work for $, please send them my way. Many thanks, Eff Norwood
