Re: ADLO for EPIA
by NEWBELL7＠magicn.com 12 Apr '03

12 Apr '03

Hello! I'm also trying to enable VGA console for EPIA. Maybe, I think it difficult that I get some VGA BIOS from anywhere. I just read that you've enabled EPIA VGA. And your boot flow is linuxbios -> etherboot -> ADLO -> ? . By the way, why are you using ADLO ? I heard that ADLO was only bootloader, such as etherboot, doesn't it ? and what is the Boch ? I read all mailing list , but didn't understand its apearance. can you explain me that ? And please ! can you tell me any hints … [View More]

[COMMIT] LNXI synch up Pass 2
by ebiederman＠lnxi.com 12 Apr '03

12 Apr '03

This gets the easy stuff. There were a few oddities in the mainboard code that I think should be fixed but the work so I left them. Most notably we now have to mainboard entries for the s2466 and the p4dpeg2. Someone who has more energy can sit down and compare them. - intel.h removed false comment - p4dpe sync with LNXI tree * Make switching to fallback mode more robust Added boot_countdown to count the number of times booting has failed. * Added boot index to allow fully forcing … [View More]

mkelfImage problem
by ron minnich 11 Apr '03

11 Apr '03

I've got an elfImage that has a text segment at 800000. When I run mkelfImage from the latest CVS, the elfImage that is created has that chunk at 800000 moved down to 100000. The segment in elfImage at 100000 has the exact size of the segment at 800000 in the input elf file. OK, anybody seen anything like this? any hints :-) ron

Still not having success with SM P4DPE
by Atherton, Stephen 11 Apr '03

11 Apr '03

Ron and James, thanks for clueing me in on the fallback image stuff. I'm still not quite doing something right though, it seems. My config files are below. I based these on the samples in mainboard/supermicro/p4dpe. The fallback image is 81k and contains the etherboot payload...this doesn't seem right to me but I don't know what else to do. If I don't specify the etherboot payload, it tries to use vmlinux which is much, much bigger. So I run the config script on both files, then go to the … [View More]

RE: Burning BIOS on FLASH ROMS, is the kernel also needs to burnt on it
by Terry B. Chen 11 Apr '03

11 Apr '03

Hi, I have read the ADLO install and README files, I know a lot from the files. But I have some questions. If I use Linuxbios + ADLO, which options should be set? Should the ouput payout replace the linuxkernel? ADLO support all chipset? Have some guide to teach how to merge ADLO with linuxbios? Thank you! Best regards Terry

Suggested mechanism of burning a LinuxBIOS on FLASH ROMS
by Deepak Kotian 10 Apr '03

10 Apr '03

Hi, This may be a very basic simple question, but I do not know a very good answer/solution to do this. If I want to burn LinuxBIOS, I can use the burn_mtd script , it may write it successfully as well, but if linuxbios is not correctly built. I cannot get the any O.S started on this machine, which means I would need to replace the BIOS FLASH ROM with a one with proper BIOS and bring up the machine. Is there a way I can re-program the old BIOS on to the corrupted … [View More]

What do we store there? There are several other people who could have answered and this is a question of general interest so back to the list, with this.

Etherboot/LinuxBios on Supermicro P4DPE
by Atherton, Stephen 10 Apr '03

10 Apr '03

I'm trying to get etherboot and linuxbios running on a supermicro p4dpe. The config file I'm using is below. It builds okay, and I get a romimage of around 460k (not sure why it isn't 524288), but when I burn it (using flash_and_burn), it doesn't seem to work. I get no output on the serial port. Note that I have BOOT_IDE set to 1 because at this point I would be happy just to see it boot anything, and I have linux on the ide hard disk. Does BOOT_IDE do what I think it does, or is that for … [View More]

RE: 533Mhz FSB of E7501
by Terry B. Chen 10 Apr '03

We tested s2723 that use E7501 source code; I find linuxbios can not support dual channel memory. Then I try to disable hyper threading, the spot_check meet error again！ I have compare the E7501 with E7500 Bios spec, it have a lot of differences between these two chipsets including RCOMP programming. I suppose it need to modify in many site. This is the two the lspci file.

Chen Cc: linuxbios(a)clustermatic.org Subject: Re: 533Mhz FSB of E7501 Greetings, Most likely, there is an undocumented register issue in the northbridge. With the OEM BIOS, can you send me an lspci with a 400 FSB and a 533 FSB. That should narrow things down. G'day, sjames On Tue, 8 Apr 2003, Terry B.
