LinuxBIOS for HDAMA not building
by Craig C Forney May 10, 2004

May 10, 2004

The current LinuxBIOS tree from sourceforge doesn't seem to build properly for the last few days. I noticed that arima/hdama, amd/quartet, and tyan/s2850 all get the same error (compilation of src/southbridge/amd/amd8111/amd8111_lpc.c fails). I assume it's related to the current discussion around the 8111 stuff. Is the current source tree in an unstable state? Or is my build environment screwed up? Craig Forney Opus Innovations LLC

Where to find freebios2 info?
by Jay Miller May 10, 2004

May 10, 2004

Hello All, We just started a project that we hope to use LinuxBIOS on. We're using Athlon64, with AMD 8111, 8131, and a dual broadcom gige chipset. Looking around it appears that freebios2 supports this hardware. Where do I go to find information about freebios2 development? Specifically I'm looking for, where the kernel patches are (do you still do that in 2.0)? What kernels do you support? Thanks, Jay Miller Actuality Systems, Inc.

Re: Is possible Linux on flash memory?

LinuxBIOS doesn't support USB pen drives or USB compact flash. It does support ATA (IDE) flash devices. On a normal (proprietary) BIOS: Booting from USB is supported on many newer motherboards with a BIOS that supports this. I use Flonix to boot from a 64MB USB pen drive: http://mir2.ovh.net/flonix/ The Flonix forums are at: http://www.flonix.com/support/viewforum.php?f=11 I also tried Puppy Linux (http.goosee.com/puppy/), but the USB bootloader (syslinux 2.08) didn't work for me. Using Knoppix 3.3 2-16-2004, I was able to install it's syslinux 2.04 bootloader: # syslinux /dev/sda1 To make Flonix bootable, you can also use the above command from the Knoppix live CD. (The first USB flash is /dev/sda, if there are _no_ SCSI drives. Otherwise, USB flash is the last "SCSI" device, i.e. /dev/sdc with two SCSI hard drives with special files /dev/sda and /dev/sdb.) There are other Linux distributions built to be installed on a USB pen drive or flash. Check out http://www.linux-usb.org/ for general Linux USB information. BTW, I sent Flavio a private e-mail to flavio_groups(a)yahoo.com.br and it bounced. So, I'm forced to answer via the LinuxBIOS mailing list. Sorry. Sincerely, Ken Fuchs <kfuchs(a)winternet.com>

Hello from Gregg C Levine It should work indeed. However, I've got a strange series of problems that might be related to my distribution's choice of versions, and I'll post the script output here in this message. However, it will be a long one. I think some of these problems might be related to the distribution you chose, Steven, whose is it, and what's the version on it? Mine is Slackware 9.1, which came with those versions of tools. (Script output follows.) That's the versions of my GCC, and binary tools.: Script started on Sat May 8 12:59:30 2004 root@who5:/# gcc --version gcc (GCC) 3.2.3 Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

CVS server naming reset---webpages need to be reset
by Gregg C Levine May 8, 2004

May 8, 2004

Hello from Gregg C Levine Apologies in advance for the wordiness of the message, but I wanted to present everything that led up to the title of the mail message. Everyone, who in this group manages the website's pages on the subject of CVS? The Source Forge pages will need to be reset, as will be the one on www.linuxbios.org . Reason being that our good friends at Source Forge, made a few changes in their BIND software, and well they said it best: ( 2004-05-03 05:41:25 - Project CVS Service ) As of 2004-04-28 the CVS services will no longer function with the hostname of cvs.PROJECTNAME.sourceforge.net. You should change your CVS commands to use the host cvs.sourceforge.net (the fix for this under all platforms is to perform a checkout into a new directory using the new hostname) and that should resolve any outstanding issues that you may have (this includes issues relating to the SSH host key change warning, among others). This issue came about as a result of upgrading from BIND 8 to BIND 9 which doesn't allow for a wildcard in the middle of a hostname. Obviously they should have e-mailed that blurb to all project leaders, for all of the hosted projects, but, ah, they probably expected them to read the status report page, as I did. I discovered that, early on when I had problems downloading source code for a totally different project. I gave up on it, when I realized I didn't need them. However regarding the recent discussion on USB flash drives, it revived an interest of mine regarding same, I refreshed my memory going over the relevant e-mail messages from the archive. I did have to update my local storage, and that's why this whole business surfaced. Anyway on that theme, and subject, more later when I try out one of my ideas. Anyway I did notice the rearrangement of the stored files, and such like, and I appreciate the neat layout of same. ------------------- Gregg C Levine hansolofalcon(a)worldnet.att.net ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."

Enable or Disable ?
by Li-Ta Lo May 7, 2004

May 7, 2004

Eric, I still don't understand why we have to enable some device even the config file says the device is disabled. The code in pci_device.c:pci_scan_bus() if (dev->chip && dev->chip->control && dev->chip->control->enable_dev) { int enabled = dev->enabled; dev->enabled = 1; dev->chip->control->enable_dev(dev); dev->enabled = enabled; } tries to ignore the dev->enabled flag and enable the device. Later the enable_dev() or enable() is called again. Ollie
