Re: [LinuxBIOS] 440bx stuff
by Corey 07 Nov '06

Okay, I know you guy probably thought you got rid of me, but I'm still around. I'm currently trudging through everything I can find for docs on both the 440zx-66 and 440bx chipsets, and looking what's currently there for code and what exactly needs to be implemented. I still have the 440zx mobo (bios mod never worked out), and in the morning I should be able to get a 440bx, one that hopefully has a removable bios chip. I'm curious, is there any way to test the code through software, without a flash? Also, as far as POST cards go, any one thats better than the rest? Or just the cheapest thing I can find will work?

I think the register names and operation may be closer to the 440bx. But feel free to use whatever. Its mostly about framework. -- Richard A.

[LinuxBIOS] booting XP
by ron minnich 07 Nov '06

The issue of booting XP just will not go away. So, there are two options I see, in order of preference: 1. find some way, using kexec etc., to boot XP under Linux, then put Linux in FLASH; done 2. revive ADLO there have been a number of suggestions for how to do the first one. 1. freeldr (vapor?) 2. tinyldr (vapor?) any non-vaporous ones out there? This note is an attempt to start a discussion and discovery on this subject. thanks ron

I tried with Serengeti_cheetah, it said unknown HDD. Same ADLO can work with qemu, and xen ( as virtual FW).

I'm just trying to get a baseline. thanks ron

You can start from MSI 9182?. Same CPU, chipset, superio. So only need to adjust some entries in mptable.c YH

[LinuxBIOS] tyan b3992?
by Ward Vandewege 07 Nov '06

07 Nov '06

Hi there, We're about to buy another box to replace our venerable shell server (fencepost), thanks to a generous donation. I know there is AMD Socket F support in LinuxBIOS nowadays. We'd like to get a Socket F board because that would give us hardware virtualization. If we get a Tyan B3992-based chassis (e.g. this one http://www.tyan.com/products/html/gt24b3992.html), how hard would it be to get LinuxBIOS working for that board? None of the new Tyan Socket-F boards are currently in the tree; is it realistic that this will happen in the (near) future? I'd be happy to test and shake out bugs to get this board supported, but we'd have to rely on someone else to do the heavy lifting involved in getting the board supported - I just don't know enough (yet?) about this stuff to be able to do it myself. Anyone interested to work on this board? We've also looked at the new MSI board, but can't find any systems that use that yet... Thanks, Ward. -- Ward Vandewege <ward(a)fsf.org> Free Software Foundation - Senior System Administrator

[LinuxBIOS] #33: New motherboard IEI NOVA4899R

#33: New motherboard IEI NOVA4899R --------------------------------------------------------+------------------- Reporter: Luis Correia <luis.f.correia(a)gmail.com> | Owner: somebody Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: trivial | Milestone: Going mainstream Component: code | Version: v2 Keywords: | Include_gantt: 0 Dependencies: | Due_assign: MM/DD/YYYY Due_close: MM/DD/YYYY | --------------------------------------------------------+------------------- WARNING!!! this is work in progress! The following files add support for the IEI NOVA4899R 5.25 SBC mainboard. As of now, it does boot with serial console only (no vga), and two ethernet cards work sometimes. This has to do with the IRQ assignments, which are a complete mess. USB is now apparently working, but I can't make any device to be recognized. The PCI slot is still unusable due to the IRQ thing. Audio, other serial ports, irda, floppy and paralell port support is unknown aka untested yet. Please forgive me for not supplying a proper patch file.
