[LinuxBIOS] about the put sb chain on bus 0 and let sb ht end device use unitid 1
by Lu, Yinghai 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

I added some code to make 1. sb ht chain sit on bus 0 2. let HT chain end device use small unit id.. So We can make the bus num and device num to be same to system BIOS. It maybe useful to let use compare mptable/irqtable/acpi tables.... I will produce one patch after you apply issue36 and issue 37 to the public tree. YH

[LinuxBIOS] Bochs is too slow while loading the Linux
by Kalyankumar, Sanagavarapu (IE10) 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

Sir, I am using freebios to load Linux on SC2200 (GEODE platform). I am using Bochs for the interrupt callback support. LinuxBIOS loads Bochs into the RAM and gives control to it Bochs in turn loads Linux. Linux kernel size is around 512 MB. Bochs is taking around 12 sec to load Linux which is unacceptable as per as system requirements. Bochs itself is too slow in executing the things. I observed that it is around 20 times slow than LinuxBIOS which is executing before Bochs. Please help me in fixing this problem. Thanks in advance Regards, Kalyan.

[LinuxBIOS] I want Windows booting
by Jun OKAJIMA 29 Nov '05

29 Nov '05

Hello. Current ADLO can not boot XP. Then, how about using freeldr as payload? You must know freeldr already, but if I would explain shortly, it is a clone of NTLDR, a boot loader of WindowsNT/2k/XP. And it is one of products of ReactOS project. Currently it can just boot ReactOS, which will be a clone of Windows itself, and can not boot genuine Windows. But plan to be able to boot guenuie one someday. Then, if once it becomes to be able to boot guenie Windows, how about using it as payload? if doing so, it is yet another way of booting Windows than ADLO. BTW, somebody help to work X on EPIA-M!. Why 0xc0000 data changes after boot? --- Okajima, Jun, Tokyo, Japan.

[LinuxBIOS] God bless Debian
by Anton Borisov 26 Nov '05

Hi. After some unsuccessful attempts to run X with EPIA-M (4-bit with 'vga' driver is out of score) I could finally experience full color and quite stable video playback at 1280x1024x16 resolution. So it seems to me I'm the third person after Martin Ley and Jun Okajima to see the how EPIA-M is performing with video enabled ;-) What I've done: 1) xorg.conf - should be enabled one option (it is essential): Option "NoAccel" "yes". 2) 'via' driver. I used the one from unichrome project (via_drv.o-unichrome_X_r20-debian_sarge_xfree86-4.3.0.dfsg.1-1) and Martin's Ley driver (from his debian box). 3) ran x11perf Video playback with MPlayer ('xv' video output driver) is quite smooth. "Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy" encoded as DX50 with 520x300 pixels is played at 30% of CPU workload. I'm not sure that x11perf will present all necessary charts so I'm asking you - which X11 benchmark should be used to measure all parrots? Thanks. -- Sincerely, Anton Borisov

Hi list, after reducing the log-levels to 0 the build did not compile anymore.

I've applied issue 26, restoring CAR. Builds of arima/hdama and tyan/2895 are fine. Will test next week. I hope this doesn't break anyone too much, but this was needed. Man, builds without romcc are a lot faster ... ron
