[LinuxBIOS] Boot from CD
by Linux Bios 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

I have Tyan s2891 motherboard flashed with linuxbios. I had corrupted my root Ubuntu installation and now Filo 0.5 with a "grub>" prompt is displayed upon boot up. From this prompt I wanted to boot the Ubuntu install cd-rom to recover or reinstall. I have gotten as far as changing root to the cdrom by the command syntax 'root (hd2,0)', kernel /, boot. The partition on the cd-rom is recognized at this point (Im assumeing by the output of the serial console to hyperterminal output) and I am then back at the grub> prompt. Any help would be appreciated for the syntax on booting the Ubuntu cd from this prompt. I am brand new to this and a student at school on the holiday that is trying to learn :) Thank you for your help. Regards, Nate --------------------------------- Building a website is a piece of cake. Yahoo! Small Business gives you all the tools to get online.

[LinuxBIOS] petitboot - kexec based graphical bootloader
by Carl-Daniel Hailfinger 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

Just saw this: http://ozlabs.org/~jk/projects/petitboot/ >From the web page: "Petitboot is a graphical bootloader for the PlayStation 3. It's based on the existing kboot project, plus the twin windowing system for the GUI." Maybe this is something we can list in the wiki as possible payload. Carl-Daniel

[LinuxBIOS] Call for help: superiotool
by Uwe Hermann 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

Hi, as you may have noticed, we have a relatively new tool called 'superiotool' (http://linuxbios.org/index.php/Superiotool) in the repository: $ svn co svn://linuxbios.org/repos/trunk/util/superiotool It is able to detect which Super I/O is located on your mainboard, and (if the respective code support was added), it can also dump the contents of all registers on the Super I/O: $ superiotool -d This will hopefully be helpful in debugging Super I/O related problems, e.g. with keyboards, systems sensors and fans, etc. To make the tool more useful we need - As many supported Super I/Os as possible. Supporting new ones is relatively easy, but a bit time-consuming. You have to grab the datasheet, find out the ID/version of the Super I/O and add it in the respective file (ite.c for ITE Super I/Os, for example). For the dump functionality you have to add a (large) table with all registers and their defaults. - One or two outputs of 'superiotool -d' for each supported Super I/O for reference, so we can compare values for different boards. If you have one of the supported Super I/Os (see table in http://linuxbios.org/Superiotool) please run 'superiotool -d' as root, reply to this email and submit the output. We'll then link to your email (in the list archive) in the wiki page. Thanks, Uwe. -- http://www.hermann-uwe.de | http://www.holsham-traders.de http://www.crazy-hacks.org | http://www.unmaintained-free-software.org

[LinuxBIOS] Mode Register Set raminit.c
by joe＠smittys.pointclark.net 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

Hello, I am not sure I understand the Mode Register Set of 0x1D0. For the i440bx and i82810. According to the JEDEC datasheets this is not a valid setting. For CAS3 in normal mode this should be set to 0x30. I am just trying to understand where 0x1D0 is coming from. Can anyone point me to a datasheet that expains this?? Thanks - Joe

[LinuxBIOS] problem on geode
by ron minnich 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

with the older version of linuxbios on the msm800sev, I could reflash. I can ID but no longer reflash with the buildrom version of linuxbios. here is the 0x1808 MSR. pbx ~ # /rdmsr 0x1808 MSR register 0x1808 => 25:ff:fc:02:13:f7:df:00 pbx ~ # /wrmsr 0x1808 22:ff:fc:02:10:f3:bf:00 MSR register 0x1808 => 22:ff:fc:02:10:f3:bf:00 pbx ~ # /rdmsr 0x1808 MSR register 0x1808 => 22:ff:fc:02:10:f3:bf:00 this was sufficient before. Marc, what should I look at? flashrom does this: pbx ~ # ./flashrom Calibrating delay loop... ok Found LinuxBIOS table at: 00000530 vendor id: digitallogic part id: msm800sev WARNING: No chipset found. Flash detection will most likely fail.
