Stefan, I have tried several snapshots and none of them build correctly. They All have the same problem: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-suse-linux/3.3/../../../../i486-suse-linux/bin/ld: section .rodata.str1.32 [00000000fffbff80 -> 00000000fffc015a] overlaps section .reset [00000000fffbfff0 -> 00000000fffbffff] collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [linuxbios] Error 1 Any ideas?

This applies for most other boards in the latest tree. We'll gladly assist you if you are going to test this. As an option you can always choose a snapshot from 1.5 months ago. Stefan

[LinuxBIOS] regarding pci sement num and extend reg
by yhlu 25 Dec '05

25 Dec '05

I suggest to change PCI_ADDR and PCI_DEV to followings #define PCI_ADDR(SEGBUS, DEV, FN, WHERE) ( \ (((SEGBUS) & 0xFFF) << 20) | \ (((DEV) & 0x1F) << 15) | \ (((FN) & 0x07) << 12) | \ ((WHERE) & 0xFFF)) #define PCI_DEV(SEGBUS, DEV, FN) ( \ (((SEGBUS) & 0xFFF) << 20) | \ (((DEV) & 0x1F) << 15) | \ (((FN) & 0x07) << 12)) So we can put extened reg pos together... pci read will become static inline __attribute__((always_inline)) uint32_t pci_read_config32(device_t dev, unsigned where) { unsigned addr; addr = (dev>>4) | (where & 0xff) | ((where & 0xf00)<<16); outl(0x80000000 | (addr & ~3), 0xCF8); return inl(0xCFC); } static inline __attribute__((always_inline)) uint32_t pci_mmio_read_config32(device_t dev, unsigned where) { unsigned addr; addr = dev | where; return read32(addr); } static inline __attribute__((always_inline)) uint32_t pci_read_config32x(device_t dev, unsigned where) { if(dev & 0xf0000000) { return pci_mmio_read_config32(dev, where); } else { return pci_read_config32(dev, where); } } YH

1. you need to the datasheet for superior ITE IT7812F, and refer to other superio to add support for it. 2. copy tyan s2891 MB and target dir to create ecs/sth, and modify to support only one CPU... 3. modify superio etc in 2.... YH

[LinuxBIOS] Linuxbios on an ECS Nforce4-A939?
by sales＠bradbrown.com 24 Dec '05

24 Dec '05

Hello: Let me preface this by saying "Yes, I realize ECS is not the best manufacturer, but man they're cheap!" Before attempting a flash this board with Linuxbios, I'd like to get opinions on whether my motherboard should work correctly with Linux bios; by "work," I mean boot Linux from an IDE device using FILO ; although network or USB booting would be nice, I really only care about being able to boot from the hard drive or CD-rom. The lspci output is shown below the dotted line. Additional information: 1. Board is an ECS Nforce4-A939 with a Venice-core 3000 chip: http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWeb/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?CategoryID=1&TypeI D=31&DetailID=493&MenuID=16&LanID=9 I know there is NForce4 support in Linuxbios, I just wasn't sure what beyond this support was actually needed to boot. Here's the rest in case it's relevant. 2. The SuperIO chip is: ITE IT8712F . I don't see this in the list of supported SuperIOs, so I assume the USB booting will be impossible, and serial output of boot output impossible. 3. Onboard Nic is: Marvell 88E1111 Giga LAN PHY. 4. Bios is: Award BIOS with 4Mb Flash ROM. The PLCC reads PhoenixBios D686 BIOS Thanks for your input. I will post my results for others.

[LinuxBIOS] how can I mount rootfs on ramdisk
by zhu shi song 22 Dec '05

22 Dec '05

I use linuxbios to boot my mainboard tyan/s2881. But I don't hope I'll use HD. I hope linux to mount rootfs on ramdisk and run on it. How can I do that? tks zhu shi song __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

[LinuxBIOS] LPT Port, little problem
by Christian Sühs 22 Dec '05

22 Dec '05

Hey, it is possible to change the LPT (Parport) Mode in LininuxBios for the Epia-M. I need only the standard Bios SPP Mode. Currently, modprobe parport_pc detects following Modes [PCSPP, Tristate, Compat, ECP] with LinuxBios With SPP Mode from original Bios parport_pc detects [PCSPP, Tristate, EPP] and that is what I need. I think I must use EPP for a selfmade Printerport Interface. I have tried to compile the Kernel without using FIFO, but it doesn't work, also load the Module with DMA=none and several other options don't work. However , my LPT Interface does not work and therefor I will change the Mode :D regards chris

[LinuxBIOS] Eventually a RAM problem for slow booting Epia-M
by Christian Sühs 20 Dec '05

20 Dec '05

Hello @ all, I have searched the MailingList for Epia, and there is another poster which have the same problem as I have. A slow boot Epia-M, which needs about 10 seconds for the first messages over the com port. Somebody means, it could be a problem at the northbridge, but has have no solution :( There is a second thing in the post, which compares to me. It seems the poster has the same RAM, as I have. Only the size differs. My RAM is a Single Sided 2100/3200 256MB with Samsung Chips. Could the RAM the reason for the slow boot. I think the first thing to initialize is the RAM. Furthermore, the RAM is direct connected to the NB. Chris

[LinuxBIOS] LinuxBios on Epia-ML
by Christian Sühs 19 Dec '05

19 Dec '05

Hello @ all, I try to run LinuxBios on an Via Epia ML6000 and there are problems with the VGA output. The chipset on the board is nearly the same as the Epia-M and the console output seems to be ok, only the initialisation of the video bios looks not fine. The video bios is taken from the original Bios with dd. Kernel is compiled with standard fb support. X fails, because of the non exist /dev/fb0. Furthermore, there is no detecting of the graphic hardware, if the kernel starts. Please have a look at my file. any hints? regards chris LinuxBIOS-1.1.8.0Fallback Sun Dec 18 12:01:05 CET 2005 starting...
