[LinuxBIOS] Asus Vintage AH1
by Alan Jones 27 Dec '06

27 Dec '06

Hi All, Thanks for taking the time to have a read through all this. * Step 1: A very brief description of your system: CPU, northbridge, southbridge, mainboard and optionally other important details. CPU: AMD Athlon 64FX/Athlon 64 Socket 939 1 GHz (K8) I've got an AMD64 X2 4400+ in it if that's relevant. North Bridge: ATI Radeon Xpress 200 South Bridge: ULI M1573 * Step 2: Linux lspci output for your system, generated by booting Linux via the original BIOS and runnning lspci. 00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 Host Bridge (rev 10) 00:02.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 PCI-X Root Port 00:06.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 PCI Bridge 00:18.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] HyperTransport Technology Configuration 00:18.1 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Address Map 00:18.2 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] DRAM Controller 00:18.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Miscellaneous Control 00:19.0 PCI bridge: ALi Corporation M5249 HTT to PCI Bridge 00:1c.0 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1 Controller (rev 03) 00:1c.1 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1 Controller (rev 03) 00:1c.2 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1 Controller (rev 03) 00:1c.3 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 2.0 Controller (rev 01) 00:1d.0 Audio device: ALi Corporation High Definition Audio/AC'97 Host Controller 00:1e.0 ISA bridge: ALi Corporation PCI to LPC Controller (rev 31) 00:1e.1 Bridge: ALi Corporation M7101 Power Management Controller [PMU] 00:1f.0 IDE interface: ALi Corporation M5229 IDE (rev c7) 00:1f.1 RAID bus controller: ALi Corporation ULi 5287 SATA (rev 02) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600] (rev a2) 03:10.0 Network controller: Tiger Jet Network Inc. Tiger3XX Modem/ISDN interface 03:11.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10) 03:12.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): VIA Technologies, Inc. IEEE 1394 Host Controller (rev 80) * Step 3: Super I/O chip on the mainboard (report the model numbers on the actual chip, for example "Winbond W83627HF"). Winbond W83627EHG-A * Step 4: Type of BIOS device (see the question "How do I identify the BIOS chip on my mainboard?" below). I'm not sure if this is the right info, but I found a sticker saying AMIBIOS BF13, 1044 * Step 5: URL to the mainboard specifications page (optional). It's a barebones PC and I haven't found a separate page detailing the mainboard. http://uk.asus.com/products4.aspx?modelmenu=2&model=570&l1=1&l2=1&l3=0 * Step 6: Any other relevant information you can provide. Well I couldn't find mention of either northbridge or southbrige on the linuxbios page (but perhaps that's because the info on the asus site isn't talking about the same thing - no idea there) so I'm guessing it may not be supported standard yet, but if there is something I can do to help provide support then let me know. Like most of you on the list the machine only has linux on it (gentoo 64bit) so anything I need to run to help get info about the chips is no problem. I also gave flashrom a quick spin and managed to get a dump of the bios with it - I'm pretty certain it's good as I've upgraded the bios previously and this one is very close to binary equal (though not exactly) to the rom I flashed up. Cheers, Alan.

[LinuxBIOS] MB1030 / 3036 VGA comes up :D
by emmapwork emmapwork 25 Dec '06

25 Dec '06

Hello, I'm just wondering if there is really a VBL interrupt on the PC like on Amiga / ST / C64 / NES / ...? And if there is, where it is and it's documented / hacked so we can use it? Thanks -- Emmanuel -- http://www.hugi.scene.org/

[LinuxBIOS] power on via usb
by Shaddam Corrino IV 22 Dec '06

22 Dec '06

Hello, any idea what's required for system power on via usb device? On said system power-on via ps/2 keyboard already works. I immagine that even if the original bios does not support it, it merely means that the 1st hard power-on won't work. However, I think that 2nd and subsequent soft power off/on cycles would work if the system would be put in stand-by mode in the right way. -- Thanks! Shaddam IV

[LinuxBIOS] Digital-Logic, Intel 855GME, 945GM, AMD LX800
by Marc-André Beck 21 Dec '06

21 Dec '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello I looked a little through the archives of this mailinglist to see the progress for the Intel 855GME (noted as WIP), Intel 945GM and AMD LX800 (noted as WIP). These are the chipsets mainly used for the Digital-Logic industrial computers. AMD LX 800 seems to be rather well supported. Is it? Is it usable in productive? Intel 855GME. Development seems to be dropped due to the lack of support by Intel. What is the state? And what needs to be done? Intel 945GM. No work seems to be put in this chipset for instance? Is this true or is it compatible with an older supported chipset? Somehow off topic. Is it possible right now to boot an old Operating System like Windows XP using ADLO and effectively use it afterwards? I'm new to this list, so i wanted to tell you that i appreciate very much the work you have done. Thanks in advance Marc-André -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFhC6Q7jWFHvRsTN4RAie0AJwIY1hp4BUHnlBKj4Wt1QQkVV50ygCfRuNr uBNrZf7aLcXswkBV7r4Ti9k= =jpHo -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[LinuxBIOS] Socket AM2 desktop motherboards
by Vlad C. 21 Dec '06

21 Dec '06

Hi, I've put candidate Socket AM2 desktop motherboards in a table on the LinuxBIOS wiki: http://linuxbios.org/Desktops I think it would be nice to have at least one "mainstream" and one "high-end" motherboard supported. My choice would be MSI K9N4 Ultra-F ($62.99) and MSI K9N Platinum ($98.99). Vlad __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
