[LinuxBIOS] ACPI & tyan s2881
by Baski 12 Oct '07

12 Oct '07

If we do not advertise about the CPU info through ACPI in s2881, how come linux shows all the cpu cores through /proc/cpuinfo? If it's using mptable, pl. give reference in filo code or wherever it is. Thanks in advance - Baski --------------------------------- Building a website is a piece of cake. Yahoo!

Re: [LinuxBIOS] Question about contribution to the LinuxBIOS

Hi Uwe, Thanks for your explanation. >Provide datasheets. We could provide the latest datasheet for our chips if any developer needs. >SuperIO driver development According to the source code, it seems that the superIO driver will perform the action instead of the factory BIOS code, am I right? And when a new superIO driver is completed, how can we test it? >Some help with embedded controllers in laptops/notebooks So far, I've got no ideas with this part. :( >Superiotool We could provide the information of our superIO output. Anyway, I hope I can help a bit about our superIO chips' work in the future.

[LinuxBIOS] Dell Inspiron 6400
by Nistur 12 Oct '07

12 Oct '07

Hi, I'm new to this so be nice to me. I've been tempted in, amongst other things, by the supposed fast booting. Unfortunately I don't have an officially supported board. http://www.hardware.info/en-US/productdb/bGRkZJiTmJHK/viewproduct/Dell_Insp… From the above link, and other knowledge of my laptop I found: CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo - 1.6GHz Northbridge: Intel 945PM Southbridge: Intel ICH7M On the site it claims that Dell get all their laptops made by either Quantas or Compal. I don't know if this is out of date, but following links told me to run dmidecode, which claims I have a motherboard, chassis etc made by Dell. I do not yet know anything about Super I/O or my current BIOS as google has brought up little and I'll have to take the screwdriver out again. Your FAQ also asks for lspci output which I will add at the end. I was wondering how feasable this would be on my laptop. My laptop doesn't have a floppy drive so I can't even hope to reflash the BIOS if everything goes pear-shaped can I? Or will a USB Floppy work even with a dud BIOS? I have already told my LUG about this and a few are very interested.

[LinuxBIOS] What must the BIOS initialize in order to have Linux boot?
by Adam Talbot 12 Oct '07

12 Oct '07

What must the BIOS initialize in order to have Linux boot, if the kernel is the payload. I know that the dram controller must be up, but what else? Super IO is nice for debug reasons, but is it required?. South bridge? Does the modern 2.6 have enough brains to start the south bridge? -Adam Talbot

[LinuxBIOS] grub-linuxbios in Debian sid
by Robert Millan 12 Oct '07

12 Oct '07

Hi! I'd like to point out that I've merged a patch with Patrick's GRUB port in the debian package of grub, and binaries are now provided in sid: http://packages.debian.org/sid/grub-linuxbios Unfortunately it isn't fully functional because I had to remove the IDE driver which isn't legaly distributable (GPLv2-only). I hope this can be resolved soon since it restricts LB/GRUB usage to local patching :-/ -- Robert Millan <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What use is a phone call, if you are unable to speak? (as seen on /.)
