setting USE_ELF_BOOT
by Shubhangi Jadhav 26 Apr '03

26 Apr '03

Hi, When do we need to set USE_ELF_BOOT option ? Is elfboot loader required to load ADLO ? or is it required only in case of etherboot? Regards, Shubhangi

It's weird but it allows etherboot to build multiple drivers. 5.1.8 now that it is released is probably better. I need to see how well make etherboot.zelf and make etherboot-pci.zelf work. The first one includes all of the drivers and the second one includes all of the pci drivers (which should include ide_disk). > Which mainbord has a good config file example for this? Basically you just need to use the ELF bootloader. Eric

linuxbios problem

Hi, I'm trying to get my motherboard working with Linuxbios. I'm using ADLO with Linuxbios. The debug messages are as below.

I'm sorry but i still have problems. the setpci command looks ok. thanks ;-) When i execute the makefile i don't have error anymore but i can't run flash_rom. I've read this : >Basically you need flash_rom to flash romimage. It can be built from >cvs >tree(freebios/util/flash_and_burn). Here is the step to flash, >1. enable flash writable >$ setpci -s 0:11.0 40.b=3D54 >2. flash romimage >$ flash_rom romimage but when i execute "flash_rom romimage" it says me "command not found" -------------------------------------------------- Oreka !

Debugging the linuxBIOS code
by dkotian3＠vsnl.net 24 Apr '03

24 Apr '03

Hi, Is there a recommended way of debugging LinuxBIOS code. I burnt my FLASHROM with LinuxBIOS, nothing came up at all. Not a single message came at the serial Output. I knew that my North bridge code has issues, but still something should have come. I guess.. I had connected the serial out of my PC to another PC and I am using an Windows HyperTerminal to view the messages. Should it not show something at all even if north bridge code is broken. Could anyone give their views on this one.. Regards Deepak

Etherboot compile error
by Richard Smith 24 Apr '03

24 Apr '03

The etherboot page only had 5.1.8 available for download. When I try to compile I get a mutiple definition of 'get_memsizes' error. Who's got the 5.1.7 tarball handy? -- Richard A. Smith rsmith(a)bitworks.com

Ok so that would be go get Etherboot 5.1.7 compile it so it includes IDE right? Does the make file create an Elf image or do I have to use mkelfimage? Which mainbord has a good config file example for this? -- Richard A. Smith rsmith(a)bitworks.com -- Richard A. Smith rsmith(a)bitworks.com
