[LinuxBIOS] How to enable VGA on Tyan S3992?
by Feng, Libo 27 Apr '07

27 Apr '07

I have adapted LB of MSI ms9185 to Tyan S3992. It runs well and comes to the grub command line of Filo. Special thanks to Mr. Lu Yinghai. The last task is how to enable VGA on Tyan S3992. I have gotten ATI ES1000 VGA BIOS from Tyan web site with Mr. Anton Borisov's tool. It is 36KB. I concatenate it with LB image, 512KB. default CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA=1 default CONFIG_PCI_ROM_RUN=1 in mainboard/msi/ms9185/Options.lb. I am not sure about the below: device pci 9.0 on # PCI chip drivers/pci/onboard device pci 9.0 on end register "rom_address" = "0xfff80000" #512k image #register "rom_address" = "0xfff00000" #1M image end end I check device number on Windows, it is 12, but the broadcom spec says it is 13. I have tried both, it didn't work. What should be set here? And the device number is hex or decimal? What else variable should be set in config file? Do I need to switch the console from serial port to VGA? How? Thank you very much. Best Regards 丰立波 Feng Libo @ AMD Ext: 20906 Mobile Phone: 13683249071 Office Phone: 0086-010-62801406

[LinuxBIOS] question about debug skill in linuxbios
by AlexHuang 27 Apr '07

27 Apr '07

Hi All, I am a novice in LinuxBIOS. I am porting a system now. I see the linuxbios code with many "print_XXX" code. How can I see these messages during post stage?? It's hard for me to check the bug point using post_card and not efficiency. Thanks for your help. Alex

Dear LinuxBIOS readers! This is the automated build check service of LinuxBIOS. The developer "stepan" checked in revision 2619 to the LinuxBIOS source repository and caused the following changes: Change Log: Activate EC for access to fan speeds and temperature sensors. Signed-off-by: Ward Vandewege <ward(a)gnu.org> Acked-by: Stefan Reinauer <stepan(a)coresystems.de> Build Log: Compilation of arima:hdama is still broken Compilation of ibm:e325 is still broken Compilation of ibm:e326 is still broken Compilation of iwill:dk8s2 is still broken Compilation of iwill:dk8x is still broken If something broke during this checkin please be a pain in stepan's neck until the issue is fixed.

[LinuxBIOS] GA-M57SLI-S4 problems
by ST 27 Apr '07

27 Apr '07

Hi Since the build problems of the GA-M57SLI-S4 mb where gone i tried installing the bios on my mainboard. Well it worked... mostly. The i2c part doesn't work as documented by Ward. But also all PCI cards are missing. They are not listed in with lspci. There is s.t. suspicious in the dmesg output (see below). Fortunately i can report that my little soldering work is working fine. I can switch between original Bios and Linuxbios. When running linuxbios i can't do a reboot but have to powercycle the system, but that is a minor setback. Best Regards ST suspicious dmesg output: pnp: PnP ACPI: disabled SCSI subsystem initialized libata version 2.20 loaded.

[LinuxBIOS] VMWare almost there, IDE problems
by Joe Pub 26 Apr '07

26 Apr '07

Hi All, I am getting ever so closer to booting VMWare with LinuxBIOS. I can boot FILO with VGA within VMWare now but I have a final hurdle. I am getting IDE problems within FILO when it's trying to read sector 0 of the boot drive. I get a 'read sector failed' error so because of this it just jumps straight to the GRUB menu. Anyone have any ideas what the problem might be? Below is a copy of the output from LinuxBIOS from start to end. Thanks guys. LinuxBIOS-2.0.0.0Fallback Tue Apr 24 12:30:11 BST 2007 starting...

Yes, when I looked around for good pci vendor/device ids respectively subsystem ids, I got the impression that are no unambiguous ids. Identification works perfectly once LinuxBIOS is booted using the LinuxBios supplied vendor/part. My suggestion then would be to remove matching of the board based on PCI ids for the DK8-HTX. Instead matching should only be done based on the name. If flashrom is used on a system booted by factory BIOS, the flash might fail (actually only if you have flash write protection enbaled in the factory BIOS setup). One need to provide board name on the command line. This seems to be much safer than guessing what board we're on and the fiddling with the GPIOs... Of course, this should also be documented, and maybe a warning message if the board could not be identified should be printed. I could provide a patch in that direction. What do you think?

[LinuxBIOS] register settings 5780, 5785
by Thomas Ekstrand 26 Apr '07

Hi! I'd like to change some register settings in bcm5780 and 5785. I don't know how this works, I have tried to scout the code for someplace where the registers are set but with no luck. Where would this be done? Thanks in advance! Thomas

[LinuxBIOS] [PATCH] flashrom patch for iwill dk8_htx
by Mondrian Nuessle 26 Apr '07

26 Apr '07

The attached patch enables flashing on the Iwill DK8-HTX board. Basically, it configures the SuperIO to set the right GPIO pins, so write protection is disabled. Signed-off-by: Mondrian Nuessle <nuessle(a)uni-mannheim.de> --- This patch should help those people that try to use flashrom on an iwill dk8_htx board, with or without biossavior, on factory BIOS or Linuxbios.

Noticing maybe a different iobase instead of 0x3f0 being used.
