Preferences and distributions
by Gregg C Levine 25 Jan '03

25 Jan '03

Hello again from Gregg C Levine Just for the sake of argument, and any other supporting reasons, does anyone have a preference, regarding the distributions that they use? I, myself, prefer Slackware for most things, and indeed I've been using it since starting my interests in Linux. But I'm rapidly reaching the decision that I should use others as well. The next time a box goes live here, it'll be wearing Debian, instead. So? What does everyone prefer? ------------------- Gregg C Levine hansolofalcon(a)worldnet.att.net ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."

Open BIOS for XBox
by Bari Ari 23 Jan '03

23 Jan '03

There is an interesting story on Slashdot http://slashdot.org/ about an open source BIOS for the XBox http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=54192 They say they don't have the video up yet, but it's on the list. Very interesting since they seem to have worked out the BIOS for the NVidia chipset without any data sheets. Bari

RE: Irq_table not loaded when boot from etherboot
by Lawrence LL. Dai 22 Jan '03

22 Jan '03

Hi, I have dumped the two files from my system, but I still have several puzzles: 1. How can replace the "conforms" with "MP_IRQ_TRIGGER_EDGE|MP_IRQ_POLARITY_HIGH" in the mptable.c? Should I ask the hardware Engineer for help? 2. Shall I change following strings in mptable.c to instruction as "smp_write_intsrc(mc, mp_NMI, conforms|conforms, 0x0, 0x0, MP_APIC_ALL, 0x1)" ? If should, how can I do this? MP Config Extended Table Entries: -- System Address Space bus ID: 0 address type: I/O address address base: 0xc000 address range: 0x3000 Could you help me to check the files attached? Please teach me how to fix them. Best Regards, Lawrence -----Original Message----- From: Ronald G. Minnich [mailto:rminnich@lanl.gov] Sent: 2003?1?17? 23:06 To: Lawrence LL.

warm reboot Geode
by John Allen 17 Jan '03

17 Jan '03

When I use the reboot command on my Dorado demo board from National (with their BIOS), It will successfully warm boot the machine. When I use my LinuxBIOS image on the Dorado or my Geode machine, the machine just stalls at the point where the reset should occur. It seems to me that Linux is performing a BIOS Int function that is not implemented in my build of LinuxBIOS. Anyone had any luck with this? John

Hi All: I have tried to boot from network with linuxbios and failed. The output showed: "PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 04:01.0. Probably buggy MP table" Will the irq_table only be loaded in hardwaremain() which is not called in etherboot? Who can give me some help? Thanks. Ps: the attached is the output. Best wishes, Lawrence
