[LinuxBIOS] More MCP55 hacking
by Ed Swierk Dec. 12, 2006

Dec. 12, 2006

I've resumed hacking on LinuxBIOS on an Athlon socket AM2 board with an nVidia MCP55 southbridge and a C51XE between the two. I'm using the CK804 southbridge code with updated PCI IDs, and Yinghai's socket AM2 code. I've gotten a Linux kernel to boot, but I am stuck on a few issues: 1. I haven't gotten interrupt routing to work yet, and the IRQ routing table I extract from the factory BIOS seems broken. When I boot with the factory BIOS, however, Linux uses ACPI for interrupt routing, which I think bypasses the routing table altogether. Should I try to fix the routing table or try to get ACPI working? Linux searches for a device to act as an interrupt router; which device on my board would play that role? 2. The HT bridge configuration seems messed up. Linux complains "Unable to handle 64-bit address space" for each bridge because the limit register is still 0. How do I get these registers configured properly? 3. I'm not sure whether HT unitid assignment is correct; the meanings of HT_CHAIN_UNITID_BASE, HT_CHAIN_END_UNITID_BASE, SB_HT_CHAIN_ON_BUS0 and SB_HT_CHAIN_UNITID_OFFSET_ONLY are very unclear despite comments in the code. 4. The PCI device IDs assigned during HyperTransport device enumeration don't match up with those assigned by the factory BIOS, e.g. the southbridge HT interface (device 10de:0369) is assigned to device 1 on LinuxBIOS but device 8 on the factory BIOS. I'm not sure whether this is a big deal, but is there some way to get them assigned in the same way? I've attached a boot dump (boot.txt), various lspci dumps, and my mainboard Options.lb and Config.lb. Any help would be appreciated. --Ed

[LinuxBIOS] Porting to Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe
by David Michael Barr Dec. 12, 2006

Dec. 12, 2006

Hi, I'm interested in porting LinuxBios to the Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe. It has an AMD K8 northbridge and IT8712f southbridge. I notice that some work has been done on these chipsets. I hoping the blood, sweat and tears will be minimal.The BIOS is the final frontier for this machine. Cheers, David M. Barr.

[LinuxBIOS] DK8-HTX Early Hang with HTX Card Intsalled
by mcqmcqmcq＠fastmail.fm Dec. 12, 2006

Dec. 12, 2006

Hi, guys, I've just started playing with LinuxBIOS on the IWill DK8-HTX with a PathScale InfiniPath HTX card in the HTX slot. Long story short: boots with HTX card unplugged, hangs early in boot with it plugged in. Same for both r2520 (head today) and r2481. The latter is the supposedly known-working here: http://linuxbios.eu/DK8HTX_Build_Tutorial Same behavior on multiple machines, one of which has been in realiable service with LB sans HTX card for a few days, so I suspect it's not a problem of hardware flakiness. Before I dive in and try to track it down (perhaps on Wednesday), does anybody know of something obvious I need to do/hardcode/whatever to use the HTX slot? Thanks for any insight you may have! -mcq --- With the InfiniPath HTX card installed, hangs very early: [---POWER APPLIED---] LinuxBIOS-2.0.0_dk8_htx_Fallback Mon Dec 11 14:49:16 MST 2006 starting... *sysinfo range: [000cf000,000cf2c0) bsp_apicid=00 (0,1) link=01 (1,0) link=01 02 nodes initialized. core0 started: 01 started ap apicid: SBLink=02 NC node|link=00 busn=40 NC node|link=02 ht reset - [---PAUSE ca. 5 SECONDS---] LinuxBIOS-2.0.0_dk8_htx_Fallback Mon Dec 11 14:49:16 MST 2006 starting... *sysinfo range: [000cf000,000cf2c0) bsp_apicid=00 (0,1) link=01 (1,0) link=01 02 nodes initialized. core0 started: 01 started ap apicid: SBLink=02 NC node|link=00 busn=40 NC node|link=02 [---PERMANENT HANG---] With the InfiniPath HTX card removed: [---POWER APPLIED---] LinuxBIOS-2.0.0_dk8_htx_Fallback Mon Dec 11 14:49:16 MST 2006 starting... *sysinfo range: [000cf000,000cf2c0) bsp_apicid=00 (0,1) link=01 (1,0) link=01 02 nodes initialized. core0 started: 01 started ap apicid: SBLink=02 NC node|link=02 ht reset - LinuxBIOS-2.0.0_dk8_htx_Fallback Mon Dec 11 14:49:16 MST 2006 starting... *sysinfo range: [000cf000,000cf2c0) bsp_apicid=00 (0,1) link=01 (1,0) link=01 02 nodes initialized. core0 started: 01 started ap apicid: SBLink=02 NC node|link=02 Ram1.00 Ram1.01 Ram2.00 Ram2.01 Ram3 Initializing memory: done Initializing memory: done Ram4 v_esp=000cefe8 testx = 5a5a5a5a Copying data from cache to ram -- switching to use ram as stack...
