[LinuxBIOS] PC Engines ALIX board - flashrom
by Ingmar Schraub 14 Aug '07

14 Aug '07

Hi, I got a new PC Engines ALIX board, which comes with the Geode LX800 / CS5536 chip. Since Pascal Dornier from PC Engines has shipped another board to Ron Minnich a few days ago, I contacted him already. Ron is interested in helping, but away for the next two weeks. So I got started, trying to let 'flashrom' detect the pieces. Note: I am an absolutely beginner when it comes to LinuxBIOS! So please forgive me if I explain things a bitn odd or wrong. ;-) The chipset is not detected. FLASH_ENABLE enables[] need an entry for 0x1022, 0x2090 and a enable_flash function. That's problem #1. What must be done inside flash_enable for that flash? Problem #2: the flash device is not deteced. However, I read on the flash chip "SST 49LF040B". According to the flashrom sources it should be supported. Any idea what's wrong here or what I would need to do? Thanks a lot in advance!! regards, Ingmar

Re: [LinuxBIOS] Desktop with LinuxBios ?
by Robert Vogel 14 Aug '07

14 Aug '07

A few months ago I read that LinuxBios could run on the GA-M57SLI-S4 motherboard. There are some problems (http://linuxbios.org/GIGABYTE_GA-M57SLI-S4_Build_Tutorial) though. To change the BIOS requires soldering a new socket onto the board and, even at that, there is a possibility that the board could be ruined in the process. I don't have the skills required to modify the board, so it is a modification that I need done by someone else. Would you recommend this machine for desktop use ? The LinuxBios Product page does not show a motherboard for a desktop machine. Is there a desktop AMD 64 Linux machine with LinuxBios available from a good commercial vendor ? If not, how far away is it ? Thanks for any response, Bob

[LinuxBIOS] Read SPD issue
by Joseph Smith 14 Aug '07

14 Aug '07

Hello, I am having a problem with raminit.c reading SPD data. When I use the smbus_read_byte function it is only returning a value of 0xFF. smbus_read_byte(ctrl->channel0[i], 2) No matter what SPD Byte I try I am just getting 0xFF. What could this be? Please help. On another note I am finally getting console output on the i82830 chipset:-) Getting closer.... Thanks - Joe

[LinuxBIOS] #78: Implement larfs to handle GRUB2 modules in flash easily.

#78: Implement larfs to handle GRUB2 modules in flash easily. ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: stepan | Owner: somebody Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Port GRUB2 to LinuxBIOS Component: code | Version: v3 Keywords: | Dependencies: Patchstatus: there is no patch | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Implement a (simple) larfs driver in grub. Besides making it easy to solve the module loading itself, it would also help us - with copyright issues: if we port over the usb stack from FILO, it would not have to be part of the grub2 tree with all the efforts of getting it in there - with using grub2 as a 1st stage bootloader to load other payloads directly from flash, ie payloads that are in multiboot format rather than pure ELF. (I have XEN in mind) -- Ticket URL: <http://tracker.linuxbios.org/trac/LinuxBIOS/ticket/78> LinuxBIOS <http://www.linuxbios.org/>

[LinuxBIOS] GIGABYTE GA-M57SLI-S4
by Allix Davis 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

Hello, i bought a GIGABYTE GA-M57SLI-S4 motherboard after hearing LinuxBios works on it. I have not yet installed it, at the moment i am using the proprietary Award bios version F8 2007/03/20 . I wanted to use AMD-V with kvm or xen, unfortunately the bios has disabled it and there is no option in the bios to enable it. I found on a thread that before G stepping support disabling amd-v was difficult and therefore bios companies left it enabled. On a xen forum somebody had a Gigabyte M61P-S3 and had the same problem , they downgraded to a bios that did not have G stepping support and amd-v was enabled, of course they lost powernow and other features. I am asking if anyone knows if the latest bios version F9 or some way to enable amd-v on the bios, of course i am willing to use linuxBios , but i would like to wait for a few releases so all bugs are cleared and acpi is enabled. I have amd64 x2 5200+ on the board... kind regards Allix Davis

[LinuxBIOS] r2744 build service
by LinuxBIOS information 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

Dear LinuxBIOS readers! This is the automated build check service of LinuxBIOS. The developer "stuge" checked in revision 2744 to the LinuxBIOS source repository and caused the following changes: Change Log: Fix bug in probe_28sf040() causing flash corruption on SST49LF160C verify. The first byte of the flash chip was read at the start of the function and later written back to address 0 if the flash chip was not identified as SST28SF040, which means most of the time. This write caused corruption of flash contents when verifying a SST49LF160C part.
