S2885 support.
by YhLu 14 Aug '03

14 Aug '03

Ron, I'm trying to port LinuxBIOS to Tyan s2885. CPU0's Link0 is linked to 8151 ,Link1 is linked to CPU1, and Link2 is linked to 8131. other parts is the same as s2880. I change some hard code in raminit.c and coherent_ht.c to relecting the 8131 is linked to Link2 instead of link0. and let link 0 to not init. ( Just ignore it) Everything is OK till elf boot. It seems can not access the ROM in elfboot. Any suggestion. PS: after add the CPU HT link definition in Config.lb, I can not see any changes in static.c, Is it mean that you update newconfig tool? To eliminate the Hardcode in coherent_ht and raminit.c, we need add chip.h in northbridge/amdk8 and include it in them. Am I right? Regards YH Welcome to elfboot, the open sourced starter. January 2002, Eric Biederman. Version 1.3 23:stream_init() - rom_stream: 0xfffe8000 - 0xfffeffff dest=0x0000d9a0, count=0x00002000 src=0xfffe8000, bytes=0x00002000 fffe8000:----> Hang here, I try to print the ROM contect here.

K8 cluster@LANL
by ron minnich 14 Aug '03

14 Aug '03

If you check out www.lanl.gov, there is an early announcement of an new K8+infiniband cluster. It is 256 nodes, and will run LinuxBIOS. There is also mention of a larger K8 cluster, which we believe will also run LinuxBIOS. This larger cluster is not InfiniBand, as I read the announcement. Linux NetworX are building the systems, and of course Eric Biederman is managing the LinuxBIOS part. Thanks to Linux NetworX, AMD, Arima, Tyan, Eric, Stefan, and Yh Lu for all the work they have working on and supporting LinuxBIOS on the K8. I hope I didn't leave too many people/companies out. The really positive news here is that our hope, when we started this project 4 years ago, was that we could someday buy machines and they would be delivered with LinuxBIOS installed; this has now happened on over 4 machines here at LANL, one machine at LLNL, and one machine at ANL, to name a few. There are already at least 3 machines on the TOP 500 list running LinuxBIOS. ron

LinuxBIOS & binutils evilness
by Jeff Noxon 14 Aug '03

14 Aug '03

2.14.90.0.5 (Debian unstable) works for mkelfImage 2.5 but won't link LinuxBIOS. 2.12.90.0.1 (Debian stable) works for LinuxBIOS but mkelfimage 2.5 complains about no a5 magic. Am I stuck with two versions of binutils? Or maybe you know how to make LB link with the latest binutils? It looks like a binutils bug. Here is my link error: [snip] cp linuxbios_payload.nrv2b linuxbios_payload echo "INCLUDE ldoptions" > ldscript.ld ; for file in /usr/src/linuxbios/linuxbios/src/arch/i386/config/ldscript.base /usr/src/linuxbios/linuxbios/src/cpu/i386/entry16.lds /usr/src/linuxbios/linuxbios/src/cpu/i386/entry32.lds /usr/src/linuxbios/linuxbios/src/cpu/i386/reset16.lds /usr/src/linuxbios/linuxbios/src/arch/i386/lib/id.lds /usr/src/linuxbios/linuxbios/src/arch/i386/lib/failover-noz.lds ; do echo "INCLUDE $file" >> ldscript.ld ; done gcc -nostdlib -nostartfiles -static -o linuxbios -T ldscript.ld crt0.o crt0.o(.reset+0x1): In function `reset_vector': : relocation truncated to fit: R_386_PC16 _start_offset collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [linuxbios] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linuxbios/tyan' make: *** [xtyan] Error 2

Supporting extension ROMs and beyond...
by SONE Takeshi 14 Aug '03

14 Aug '03

I guess, in this direction of development, you will most certainly have to implement more legacy BIOS services (realmode INTxx). And, once SCSI BIOS worked, you automatically get INT13 (disk services) because SCSI BIOS hooks it. You already have INT10 (video services) by external VGA BIOS. Also you already have IDE and floppy drivers to implement your own INT13. OTOH, loading first sector of first drive into 0x7c00 and jumping into it is an easy task, because you already have pieces of code to support it (realmode switching, bounce buffer, etc.) So, will you add a few more legacy services to run LILO and bzImage directly from LinuxBIOS? Even more services to boot Windows? What do you think? -- Takeshi

Port to 845 chipset
by Jeff Noxon 14 Aug '03

14 Aug '03

Care to guess how much effort would be required to port LB to the 845 chipset? I have several of these boxed Intel boards in use in embedded situations. I assume (perhaps wrongly) that the Xeon chipsets aren't all that different. Thanks Jeff

sourceforge cvs hang & incorrect url for cvs-root snapshot tarball
by Roger 14 Aug '03

14 Aug '03

I'm noticing when checking out the sourceforge freebios cvs, it will hang on the last file. (fails to close the connect?) I've also noticed that cvs check-out has been really slow, so I decided to check-out the cvs snapshot tarball from the download page: http://www.linuxbios.org/developer/download/index.html The posted url: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cvstarballs/freebios-cvsroot.tar.gz The working url: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cvstarballs/freebios-cvsroot.tar.bz2 (notice that suffix differences ".gz" & ".bz") -- Roger http://www.eskimo.com/~roger/index.html

Questions to the experts

Hi all- I am trying to get myself up to speed on server management in a Linux environment and in my research I keep running across your e-mail list serve. I have been doing a lot of reading and many times the information I am reading is contradictory. I am looking for some definitive answers on the following: 1) Does Linux support IPMI? If so how? 2) Why is their a preference for using Console Port Servers in Linux and Unix, while Windows tends to be KVM? Is their a technical reason or is it simply 1) cost 2) text based management preference through CLI? 3) I read an article on Linux where in the serial section they indicate: "Linux supports ordinary telephone modems only if they work through a serial port (although the port may be built into the modem). Is this true? if it is true and someone wants to modem in then it must be done serially? Thanks in advance. Lisa --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo.

Ron, is the T23 running linuxbios? When I joined the list (though I later left) and was reading back-issues, I vaguely remember you as having said you couldn't get it on your lappy due to IBM's chipset detail stinginess; has any/all of that changed, or am I perhaps hallucinating? I have access to a fairly largish supply of A22-M series, and as president of my local student ACM chapter (named Beta Iota Tau, nerdily enough) am desparately searching for more projects for the upcoming semester/year. Short Summary: Does linuxBios work on your T23? If so, can I have all the juicy (or at least some moderately damp) details? TIA, -David H. Barr. >thank you, that did it. I now have an HDAMA running as a 2-cpu bproc > slave >node, in 32-bit mode, with an IBM T23 laptop as the master. >ron
