[LinuxBIOS] how can I mount rootfs on ramdisk
by zhu shi song 22 Dec '05

22 Dec '05

I use linuxbios to boot my mainboard tyan/s2881. But I don't hope I'll use HD. I hope linux to mount rootfs on ramdisk and run on it. How can I do that? tks zhu shi song __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

[LinuxBIOS] LPT Port, little problem
by Christian Sühs 22 Dec '05

22 Dec '05

Hey, it is possible to change the LPT (Parport) Mode in LininuxBios for the Epia-M. I need only the standard Bios SPP Mode. Currently, modprobe parport_pc detects following Modes [PCSPP, Tristate, Compat, ECP] with LinuxBios With SPP Mode from original Bios parport_pc detects [PCSPP, Tristate, EPP] and that is what I need. I think I must use EPP for a selfmade Printerport Interface. I have tried to compile the Kernel without using FIFO, but it doesn't work, also load the Module with DMA=none and several other options don't work. However , my LPT Interface does not work and therefor I will change the Mode :D regards chris

[LinuxBIOS] Eventually a RAM problem for slow booting Epia-M
by Christian Sühs 20 Dec '05

20 Dec '05

Hello @ all, I have searched the MailingList for Epia, and there is another poster which have the same problem as I have. A slow boot Epia-M, which needs about 10 seconds for the first messages over the com port. Somebody means, it could be a problem at the northbridge, but has have no solution :( There is a second thing in the post, which compares to me. It seems the poster has the same RAM, as I have. Only the size differs. My RAM is a Single Sided 2100/3200 256MB with Samsung Chips. Could the RAM the reason for the slow boot. I think the first thing to initialize is the RAM. Furthermore, the RAM is direct connected to the NB. Chris

[LinuxBIOS] LinuxBios on Epia-ML
by Christian Sühs 19 Dec '05

19 Dec '05

Hello @ all, I try to run LinuxBios on an Via Epia ML6000 and there are problems with the VGA output. The chipset on the board is nearly the same as the Epia-M and the console output seems to be ok, only the initialisation of the video bios looks not fine. The video bios is taken from the original Bios with dd. Kernel is compiled with standard fb support. X fails, because of the non exist /dev/fb0. Furthermore, there is no detecting of the graphic hardware, if the kernel starts. Please have a look at my file. any hints? regards chris LinuxBIOS-1.1.8.0Fallback Sun Dec 18 12:01:05 CET 2005 starting...

[LinuxBIOS] about make LinuxBIOS 64bit for Opteron
by Lu, Yinghai 17 Dec '05

17 Dec '05

I'm thinking to make LinuxBIOS to run at 64 bit mode so it can access 40 bit address in one instruction we just need to 1. change entry32.inc to entry64.inc... 2. change secondary.S to support 64 bit 3. change most code32 to code64 The problem is that we may need make Etherboot and mkelfImage to support 64 bit too... how do you think about it?

If it is quite slow, then I think there is something wrong with the code. You only need to write FS base or GS base MSR once per 4GB assuming you can use 32-bit Protected non-paged mode. I don't see why this should be slower than creating page tables and populating them and doing the memory testing. I'd like to get to the bottom of this one, but on offline topic. I personally agree with Ron, we should get AMD Opteron squeaky clean first, before moving to 64-bit. > -----Original Message----- > From: linuxbios-bounces(a)openbios.org > [mailto:linuxbios-bounces@openbios.org] On Behalf Of Lu, Yinghai > Sent: Friday, December 16, 2005 11:02 AM > To: Stefan Reinauer; Ronald G Minnich > Cc: LinuxBIOS > Subject: Re: [LinuxBIOS] about make LinuxBIOS 64bit for Opteron > > I hate that in LinuxBIOS (CAR and RAM stage) I can not access > the range > above 4G, esp the last 4G in 1T Range. > > I could use fs base to access that, but that is quite slow... > > YH > > -----Original Message----- > From: Stefan Reinauer [mailto:stepan@openbios.org] > Sent: Friday, December 16, 2005 10:53 AM > To: Ronald G Minnich > Cc: Lu, Yinghai; Li-Ta Lo; Eric W.

[LinuxBIOS] Compiling errors for flashrom
by Christian Sühs 15 Dec '05

15 Dec '05

Hello @ all, I try to compile flashrom on my older Suse Distro 8.2 with Kernel 2.4.20 and gcc 3.3 Suse Prerelease, but it fails because of the -Werror Flag. e.g flashrom_enable.c line 408 and 417 warning: comparison between signed and unsigned ... bla, bla breaks the process. If I delete -Werror in the makefile. flashrom is build, but with many warnings shown below in mostly each file to compile. Also, flashrom doesn't work for me, I get an error "LinuxBios Table not found" and then a Segmention Fault What goes wrong? Is my gcc version to old? pciutils are installed. regards Chris
