[LinuxBIOS] LinuxBios for Tyan Tiger MPX (S2466)
by nate iverson 09 Dec '06

09 Dec '06

Where do I find out what needs to be done for the porting of linuxbios for the Tyan Tiger MPX (S2466) motherboard? The website just says it isn't support in version1. Thanks, Nate

At least this is partial progress :) It works in LinuxBIOS now. It will loop all connected port and find debug device. Will check in the code together with MCP55. YH

[LinuxBIOS] Linuxbios on epia motherboard
by Kurt André Selbach 09 Dec '06

09 Dec '06

Hi I've used linuxbios for about a month now, and now i even have it on two devices. But i've discovered some problems: On the epia-ml i can't whatsoever figure how to get the vga bios working, but this is not of importance to me, just a little annoying. i've tried extracting with awardeco and inserting via dd, i've also tried the old .BIN which a mail in the archive referred to. On my epia-ml everything seems to work except the vgabios and /dev/ttyS1 the internal rs232 port. It(ttyS1) works flawlessly on stock bios, and kernel recognizes it on bootup (checked via dmesg) exactly identically on both stock and linuxbios, since my epia doesnt like usb hubs, and i've ran out of usb ports i'd like to get the seconds rs232 port working within linuxbios, and hints/tips are welcome. Thanks in advance, Have a nice weekend Kurt.

[LinuxBIOS] pc partitoin magic number not found?
by Jon Dufresne 08 Dec '06

08 Dec '06

I am trying to boot a successfully system using LinuxBIOS + filo payload. Right now I can currently get to filo. I Can mostly boot off a livecd, but dies eventually because my root isn't specified correctly. Instead of messing with the CD boot (since my system will boot from a HD eventually anyway) I decided to install a minimal centos system on a spare hard drive. I partitioned the hard drive as follows: # fdisk -l /dev/hda Disk /dev/hda: 3166 MB, 3166765056 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 385 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 287 2305296 83 Linux /dev/hda2 288 385 787185 82 Linux swap hda1 is formatted as ext2. When I get to filo I type the command to boot the kernel and I get some sort of partition error on hda1, here is the output: boot: hda1:/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-42.EL console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 malloc_diag: alloc: 408 bytes (5 blocks), free: 15968 bytes (1 blocks) malloc_diag: alloc: 424 bytes (6 blocks), free: 15952 bytes (1 blocks) file_open: dev=hda1, path=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-42.EL find_ide_controller: found PCI IDE controller 8086:24cb prog_if=0x8a find_ide_controller: primary channel: compatibility mode find_ide_controller: cmd_base=0x1f0 ctrl_base=0x3f4 ide_software_reset: Waiting for ide0 to become ready for reset... ok init_drive: Testing for hda init_drive: Probing for hda init_drive: LBA mode, sectors=6185088 init_drive: Init device params... ok hda: LBA 3166MB: WDC AC33100H init_drive: Testing for hdb init_drive: Testing for hdb open_pc_partition: pc partition magic number not found open_eltorito_image: No El-Torito signature Unrecognized partitioning scheme malloc_diag: alloc: 408 bytes (5 blocks), free: 15968 bytes (1 blocks) malloc_diag: alloc: 328 bytes (4 blocks), free: 16048 bytes (1 blocks) Now, can boot this fine with the system bios using grub so I don't think my partition is corrupted. Do I need to do a special partition in order to boot with filo? I think my ide controller is configured fine because I can boot off the CD. Just in case it wasn't I attempted to fill registers with values from a working boot with lspci, same error. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Jon

The ones that are easy to find probably go for $50-100 but since it's just a 1:1 socket adapter I think that's too much. If you look around you may be able to find a good deal. Note that space is tight around the PLCC socket on EPIA-MII at least, so make sure it fits physically before you order. //Peter

Too bad, it didn't mention the great feature: Using linux Kernel as payload, and make use driver in kernel so can boot from Etherboot, AOE, Infiniband, myrinet, iscsi, ... EFI will need to re do driver for them.

[LinuxBIOS] looking for RD1-PL bios savior for epia
by Colin Anderson 08 Dec '06

08 Dec '06

I am seeking an RD1-PL Bios Savior for a Via EPIA board. IOSS no longer makes this model and I cannot find any for sale elsewhere. Does anybody here have an RD1-PL they could sell me? Do I have any other options for my Via EPIA boards and their oldschool 5v PLCC socket? TIA!

[LinuxBIOS] XGI graphics
by Tom Sylla 08 Dec '06

08 Dec '06

Has anyone booted the video BIOS for an XGI Z7, Z9, or Z9S GPU with LinuxBIOS? We have a platform that mostly boots with its on-board ATI GPU, but if we do the voodoo to make it use a plug-in XGI PCI card, the emulator hangs running the ROM. Thanks for any input
