OK, ignore the last stupid question the zelf's are obviously the compressed kernels, guess I was a bit surprised to be there already! Doh. CVS is still missing lsi_scsi.c however.

Missing files from freebios2
by maillists＠petrolhead.com 18 Nov '03

Hi, So my last question referred to S2880, however just noticed a Quartet build does exist, which is what I really want, saves me doing the port! What state is this port in at the moment? Does it boot, I'm quite willing to help out bringing it up. The freebios2 cvs tree seems to be missing at least; tg3.zelf lsi_scsi.c And more importantly for me /suse/stepan/tg3--ide_disk.zelf is missing, guess that's on Stefan's drive somewhere ;-) Chris

Inline assembler problems with S2880 build
by maillists＠petrolhead.com 18 Nov '03

Hi, I'm a newbie to this, but I'm trying to build for a Tyan S2880 board. However during the build I get; .... eebios2/src/devices/hypertransport.c /tmp/ccniyAWJ.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/ccniyAWJ.s:120: Error: Incorrect register `%rcx' used with `l' suffix /tmp/ccniyAWJ.s:122: Error: Incorrect register `%rcx' used with `l' suffix This is built on a completely standard Suse 2.4.19 build Linux Boco 2.4.19 #1 Wed Jun 25 21:34:14 UTC 2003 x86_64 unknown unknown GNU/Linux Any thoughts Many thanks Chris

Questions about LinuxBIOS
by Adam Nielsen 18 Nov '03

18 Nov '03

Hi, I've been keeping an eye on the LinuxBIOS project for a while now, and I've recently got hold of a couple of old motherboards I'd like to use with LinuxBIOS. I realise there will probably be quite a bit of work involved with getting them going, but I'd just like to check I'm on the right track first! I've read through all the FAQs, and I have a few questions: Since none of the boards have on-board networking, I'd really like to use LinuxBIOS to enable them to boot Linux over the network with a standard PCI network card - it seems possible, but there doesn't seem to be anywhere that gives a definite 'yes' to this with standard PC hardware. Once LinuxBIOS is compiled and ready to go, Is it possible to flash it into the board's existing BIOS? (Without any hardware modifications, ZIF sockets, etc.) One of the motherboards has a recovery jumper which can be used to reflash the BIOS if there was a problem during a flash operation, do you think this could be used as a backup option in case something goes wrong with LinuxBIOS? (yes, I'm aware of all the dangers etc., but the boards only cost me $1 each so I'm not too worried if I render them unusable, it'll just be a bit of a waste...) The reason I ask is that the flash chip on one of the boards is soldered on and physically very small. I did get hold of a BIOS upgrade for it though, and the BIOS code itself appears to be supplied as four 64K files - is this large enough? Sorry if my questions are very basic, I'm new to all this ;-) Thanks, Adam.

Re: epia-m (600mhz) -- /dev/ttyS1

>perfect!!! Can you verify something: On my epia-m ttyS0 is 1/2 the baud rate it should be, so I can't get 115,200 baud, only 57,600. Can you verify if you can get 115,200 on both serial ports? -Dave

When I cvs update nothing changes. I'm using the common pondscum cvs server as described in this document: http://www.linuxbios.org/developer/download/index.html What is the procedure for the elite cvs server that the royalty use? -Dave
