[LinuxBIOS] I just closed issue 28
by Ronald G Minnich 12 Dec '05

12 Dec '05

patch 04 was superseded by patch 6, but in any event, none of the patches took (they were assumed to be -r). Also, the other epia-m item (29) is in the tree, so I closed that. please, folks, if you are resolving these issues, set the status to resolved and sign it off in comments. Here is the rough path for using this tracker (we're still waiting on the doc) login to the issue tracker. create the issue describe the problem upload the file (x.diff) assign to somebody. somebody else should close the issue, so: - get somebody to review. - annoy us if we don't. to close - if it is global impact, scan carefully. take your time - if it is only one mobo, one person, the person who sent the diff, scan carefully but try to get it done soon. - apply the diff, if it succeeds commit and mark the issue resolved, with 'signed-off-by' in the remarks - if it fails mark it deferred and notify the submitter I am going to try nick barker's patch. It seems somebody is applying these and not following up? ron

Oh yeah. These links have been created so people can add tutorials easily if they build LinuxBIOS for one of these boards. Unfortunately nobody has done so, yet.

[LinuxBIOS] MSI MB support
by Fredrik Tolf 09 Dec '05

09 Dec '05

Hi List! I've been following LinuxBIOS for a while, but unfortunately, I haven't been able to use it, since my motherboard isn't supported. My MB is manufactured by MSI (it's a KT6 Delta), and I've been in e-mail conversation with them about this issue, but let's just say that they have been less than forthcoming about it. :-/ So I guess what I want to ask is what I can do about the situation. Is there any point in trying to just get the chipset specs from VIA (it's a KT600 NB and a VT8237 SB), or are there things that need to be done specifically for the motherboard so that the chipset specs are useless by themselves, apart from the flash memory (which isn't supported either)? I'm more than willing to do the porting work myself, but I'd like to know where I could start, and if it's at all possible without the MB specs. Fredrik Tolf

If so, we ran LinuxBios during initial bring-up of this board, and I believe we contributed back the changes we needed for it. -- greg

should be easy, because the chipset is amd8131/8111 and superio is winbond 83627... Hypertransport-IB direct connection may have some benefits than Hypertransport-PCIE-IB connection .... interesting...

Howdy, I see that the Iwill board dk82s is supported? Does anyone know if the dk8-hkt board will work? It is interesting because it has an HTK connector on it. Thanks, Jeff Young

[LinuxBIOS] About LX800 support
by Heiki Kask 09 Dec '05

09 Dec '05

Hi, I noticed (while browsing mailing list archive) that there is some activity going on targeted to add AMD Geode LX800 support to LinuxBIOS. I have LX800 development board on my table and I can find some spare time for LinuxBIOS. What is the status of LinuxBIOS LX800 support? What can I do to help to add LX800 support to LinuxBIOS? Some tests to run? Some code to write? heiki

[LinuxBIOS] Status check
by Adam Talbot 09 Dec '05

So, I am hoping the web site is out of date. What is the current status of the Via VT8606 north bridge and the VT82C686B south bridge? Full support, some, none? -Adam Talbot
