[linuxBIOS] IDE HDD detecting
by Edward J. Lee 09 May '03

09 May '03

Hi guys, I'm new on the list. I'm using my own mainboard and I'm having problems with IDE HDD probing. the function ide_init() seems to return 0 *even* there are no HDDs attached on the system. Anyone know what to do? The one thing I noticed is that if there is no HDD ******************************** init_drive: sectors_per_track=[108], num_heads=[108], num_cylinders=[108] IDE1 108/108/108 cap: 006c ******************************** is printed.

e7501 ram w/ 533 FSB
by steven james 09 May '03

09 May '03

Greetings, I finally got some hardware in to test that. I have it working now and will commit once I verify it still works for the 400 FSB case. Seems that setting 0x0bb1 into 0x80 on the northbridge is a good idea after all.

I think the best bet is cvs diff -u, and then send it to andrew ip and me, and we'll see what we can do. ron

810E northbridge initialization problem
by Shubhangi Jadhav 09 May '03

09 May '03

Hi, Here's the northdump and the lspci dump for the 810E northbridge. The only difference I see is in the PCISTS (PCI status) register setting (0x06-07h). Does this affect the ram initialization. In raminit.inc I'm setting the value of this register to 0x2080, but cannot see it being reflected in the northdump output. Could this cause problems in ram initialization? Also I have this small program which sets the value of the PCISTS register, however it modified the register value only the first time and never after that. Any pointers on what could be the reason? **************************northdump output :******************************* 00: 86 80 24 71 06 00 80 00 03 00 00 06 00 00 00 00 10: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 86 80 24 71 30: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 40: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 50: 28 53 0a 38 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 60: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 70: cc 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 80: c6 78 18 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 90: 00 00 eb fb 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 a0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 b0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 c0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 d0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 e0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 f0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 **************************northdump output :******************************* **************************lspci output :************************************* 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82810E GMCH [Graphics Memory Controller Hub] (rev 03) 00: 86 80 24 71 06 00 80 20 03 00 00 06 00 00 00 00 10: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 86 80 24 71 30: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 40: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 50: 28 53 0a 38 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 60: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 70: cc 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 80: c6 78 18 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 90: 00 00 eb fb 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 a0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 b0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 c0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 d0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 e0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 f0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 **************************lspci output :************************************* Regards, Shubhangi
