Any reason for you to use HDT? Can you disable the XIP and have a try?

RE: [LinuxBIOS] Does LinuxBIOS run on the ECS 760GX-M?

You are right. It's easy to make it support LinuxBIOS. All you do are 1. copy src/mainboard/tyan/s2891 to src/shuttle/sn25p, modify the Config.lb 2. copy targets/tyan/s2891 to targets/shuttle/sn25p you also need to check the superior to adjust the MB Config.lb YH ________________________________ From: linuxbios-bounces(a)openbios.org [mailto:linuxbios-bounces@openbios.org] On Behalf Of Angel Sent: Monday, October 17, 2005 7:30 AM To: linuxbios(a)openbios.org Subject: Re: [LinuxBIOS] Does LinuxBIOS run on the ECS 760GX-M? Now I think I found a suitable mainboard: Shuttle XPC SN25P. It's socket 939, uses an nForce4 Ultra (CK804) and has a 4 MBit Flash ROM. The Firewire and audio controllers are made by VIA, but as they are not needed for booting up, I don't believe that be an issue.

[LinuxBIOS] Does LinuxBIOS run on the ECS 760GX-M?
by Angel 17 Oct '05

17 Oct '05

On my search for a LinuxBIOS compatible AMD mainboard, I tripped over the ECS 760GX-M. It's socket 754 and uses the SiS chips 760GX and 964. As far as I know SiS is supporting LinuxBIOS actively, so in terms of the chipset the board should run LinuxBIOS. Plus, it has a 4Mb (=500 KiB) Flash ROM with the following description from the manufactorer's website: SYSTEM BIOS Award BIOS with 4Mb Flash ROM Supports Plug and Play 1.0A, APM 1.2, Multi Boot, DMI Supports ACPI revision 1.0 specification Because I want to be shure that this mainboard supports LinuxBIOS before I will buy it, I thought I'd better ask here if anyone has it in use and can say something about it. The chipset and the plug and play BIOS at least sound promisingly to me. Oh, and a previous ECS mainboard, the K7SEM, is proven to be compatible.

[LinuxBIOS] Bios Question
by Art Fore 14 Oct '05

14 Oct '05

We have two machines with AMD 64 processors, one with Asus motherboard & Via chipset. Another with Asus motherboard with Nvidia chipset. On the one with the Via chipset using WinXP, when an external interrupt is received from a stargen chip, it takes 8 microseconds for the response to the interrupt. On the Nvida chipset, it takes 40 microseconds. Both machines are running the same program (In house developed driver). Is this a common occurance between different chipsets? Would LinuxBios help this situation any? The software being developed on .NET will also be ported over to Linux using Mono in the near future (Suse Linux). Art
