[ANNOUNCE] mkelfImage-2.1
by ebiederman＠lnxi.com 28 Jan '03

28 Jan '03

mkelfImage-2.1 is now released. mkeflImage is a tool for generating bootable ELF executables suitable for feeding to LinuxBIOS and etherboot. Currently it supports the linux kernel on both the Itanium and x86 architectures. ftp://ftp.lnxi.com/pub/src/mkelfImage/mkelfImage-2.1.tar.gz ftp://download.lnxi.com/pub/src/mkelfImage/mkelfImage-2.1.tar.gz - Broken binutils version available with Redhat 7 are now detected, at runtime and an error results instead of broken images. Anyone want to update the autoconf script so this fails at build time? - gzipped kernels are now supported. - Minor cleanups. And of course mkelfImage-2.1 is completely in C so it builds images much faster than mkelfImage-1.x. Eric

Introducing Qplus Embedded Linux.
by hcyun＠etri.re.kr 27 Jan '03

27 Jan '03

Hello, I think many people in this list are working on embedded system. So I introduce our open-source embedded linux distribution and toolkit which can compete with commercial embedded linux product such as MontaVista or Embedix linux. It provides intergrated configuration system of kernel and rootfilesystem. And entire component can be built very easily. If your are trying to make an small embedded linux system, I think this can be very helpful for you. Moreover, it's an open-source project. If you want to know more about qplus see following links. Review of qplus at LinuxDevices.com - http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT5640843706.html. Sourceforge - http://sourceforge.net/projects/qplus Main homepage - http://qplus.etri.re.kr/qplus-p/ - HeeChul Yun, Embedded S/W Team at ETRI phone: +82-42-860-1673

problems with pchips 810lmr
by Paulo Richards 27 Jan '03

27 Jan '03

Hi, i need help about linux bios I have a 810lmr with an athlon xp 1500+ cpu, and 160MB of ram. Also i get a DoC to put linux bios on it, i follow the sis630 guide from the linuxbios website and the Antony Stone's personal experience guide, i follow every single step, and it's seems to be ok, but when i reboot the mainboard there's no output on the monitor (don't even a blink), the keyboard leds (caps lock and scroll lock) start to blink and the hard drive seems to work (it make noise). So, i hook up a serial cable for listening the serial port and this is what i get (attached file). It's seems to be fine for me, but i don't really know what exactly means... There's anyone could help me? What i did wrong? Thanks Paulo Richards

Tiger MPX
by Jarmo Tulonen 27 Jan '03

27 Jan '03

Hello I've been testing LinuxBIOS on Tyan's Tiger MPX, using etherboot as payload, but with no luck so far. Nothing is output to the serial port and nothing sent to the ethernet so I guess I must have something fundamentally wrong. Steven : I used as configuration the file "example-normal.config" that you provided, just replacing the path to etherboot, and the files under .../mainboard/tyan/TigerMPX without modification. I've understood that you tested it on a similar board (or was it the "-4M" version ?) Any ideas how to proceed ? Jarmo

by Alessio Sangalli 26 Jan '03

26 Jan '03

Hi. We will have to install linuxbios on a number of systems for multimedia applications. Reading the page http://www.clustermatic.org/lb/status/index.html it seems that pc-chips motherboards aren't so well supported as I thought at first; which socketA mobo would you suggest me for the best compatibility with linuxbios? elitegroup k7sem perhaps? bye & thank you as

RE: linuxbios (fwd)

Maybe you use wincvs to check the source code in Windows, the "config" directory and "Config" file together in the same directory will generate conflict.
