Yes, you can use LinuxBIOS on nodes only. But I can not find the reason not to use LinuxBIOS on node..., any concern? YH

[LinuxBIOS] CONFIG_LB_MEM_TOPK
by Lu, Yinghai April 3, 2006

April 3, 2006

I'm going to check in new cache_as_ram code. It is more solid and could copy data from cache to ram. So we can pass some info from CAR stage to RAM stage. I want to change the default value for CONFIG_LB_MEM_TOPK from 1024 to 2048. So I don't need to change every Opteron MB Config.lb... Let me know if is ok to you. YH

[LinuxBIOS] Advantech SOM GX5333 commited
by Richard Smith April 1, 2006

April 1, 2006

I just committed the support for the the SOM-2354 CPU board running on a SOM-DB2301 base board. MSR 20000018 was from the rumba setup which didn't work on this board. Current value was ripped from how XpressROM set it. Other than that all I had to change was the superIO. The unit boots jumps to linubios and looks for the vsabin which it can't find since its not there. What's next? I have also made a little bit of progress on compiling the VSA. OpenWatcom has a 16-bit compiler and I've been hacking the makefile(s) to get it to work. OWC has a cl compability mode but IFAICT its 32bit only. I've attemped to translate the switches. I'm currently at the point of trying to figure out how to feed the OWC linker all the object files. -- Richard A. Smith
