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?

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,

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.:

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.

主题: Re: Is possible Linux on flash memory?
Greetings,
I've checked in the start of USB booting in util/baremetal/usb.
It will actually load an ELF image written to the raw device. I haven't
been able to find enough time yet to integrate it into FILO, but it should
probably go there.
G'day,
sjames

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.

Where can I find the latest ADLO and BOCHS?
I want to boot windows 2000 with it?

uh, I don't remember it being problem i the first place.

How can I boot and run Linux from a PenDrive or CompactFlash or other kind of flash memory device?
How can I do that?
There is some documentation about this?
There is motherboards that suport this? Wich ones?
Thanks
Flavio
