Stepan already commit it for me, I will fix it in one day. I will submit svn diff for that in issue track for reference....

But the last time I try it to boot on s2881, it failed. Currently we have some other things to do in LANL so probably we won't have time in the near future.

[LinuxBIOS] x11perf test results
by Anton Borisov Dec. 1, 2005

Dec. 1, 2005

I've completed testing EPIA-M video subsystem. Both with native AwardBIOS and with LX2. Tests were performed with "x11perf -a -repeat 2". Video depth - 16 bit, 'via'-driver from unichrome project. No major differences at first site. Should Barker's howto be expanded? -- Sincerely, Anton Borisov

[LinuxBIOS] LinuxBios on ETX-mgx Geode GX1 platform
by Joep Jansen Dec. 1, 2005

Dec. 1, 2005

Hello, I would like to use LinuxBIOS on an embedded Geode GX1 platform. The board is an Kontron ETX-mgx, and is has the following parts on board: * CPU: Geode GX1 266 MHz * Southbridge: CS5530A * Superio: Winbond W83977F: IDE, floppy, 2x serial, parallel port * Phoenix BIOS 4.0 in a Am29F040B 512kx8 flash chip (TSOP package) * 64 MB PCI 133 DIMM * Compact flash slot * USB controller (Compaq ZFMicor Chipset) * Ethernet: Davicom DM9102AE I want to use LinuxBIOS with FILO to boot a linux kernel from the IDE Compact Flash. My idea is to piggyback an empty flash chip on top of the BIOS flash chip, and then use a switch to select the original BIOS or a newly flashed one. I am new on this list, and would appreciate some help to get this project on the road! My question is: What would be the best way to get this started? Can I use LinuxBIOSv1 or LinuxBIOSv2? LinuxBIOSv2 seems newer, but it seems to lack support for the W83977F. Thanks for any help! Joep
