Was a newbie, now a polliwog
by Thomas Fritz 22 Jul '04

22 Jul '04

I became interested in linuxbios a while back, and while I've subscribed to this list I've never done anything with it. I've learned quite a bit more since then, and I'm even working on reading the Linux From Scatch book. I've come back around to it again, for two reasons...I have a working laptop (IBM TP 390X), and an extra mainboard for the laptop. I have to do a password recovery on mainboard, but I was thinking if I'm going to go through the trouble, I would like to try something … [View More]

Sis 630 memory init
by zhu shi song 22 Jul '04

22 Jul '04

I have met two problems when using V1 linuxbios for winfast 6300. (1) For winfast 6300, it is not compatible with some SDRAM. (2) For ECS P6STMT board which uses sis630et chipset, IPL hangs when ipl use stack to read Linuxbios from DOC. The two problems are all related to memory init. Maybe the current memory init procedures in freebios V1 is not complete. Who know how to init SDRAM correctly, so it can work for more SDRAM and more boards? zhu -------------------------------… [View More]

trouble with SDRAM when using sis630 SDRAM synchronous mode
by zhu shi song 21 Jul '04

21 Jul '04

(1) ECS P6stmt board use SDRAM synchronous mode. I've got P6STMT motherboard based on sis630et. It's strange that the 0x8e is equal 0 which I have read from linux running on the board, that means the board uses SDRAM synchronous mode. (2) The board halt after setting 0x8c~8f value same as bios setting. I set 0x8c~8f (in dll.inc) values to which I have read under linux. But ipl can't copy linuxbios from Doc to RAM. I have tested doc_mil.inc. When the second "call doc_reset" that … [View More]

You may need to copy 82801ER to 82801CA, and change device id to meet that with CA.
