I have tested Nvidia pci-e graphics card ( I forgot the model) and Mellanox pci-e infiband card with all Tyan opteron based MB. All work well. Also I test another eight way four ck804 system with 4 infiband pci-e card, it works well too.

All, I have been hired by AMD to support LinuxBIOS development as it pertains to AMD's product offerings. Where appropriate I will also work on items that benefit both AMD and LinuxBIOS community as a whole. Please do not hesitate to contact me regarding LinuxBIOS needs related to AMD processors/products. Regards Yinghai Lu

What exactly do you expect? Windows 2000 is mainly a graphical user interface.

[LinuxBIOS] Booting windows 2000
by Narahari, Narasimhaiah (IE10) 24 Aug '05

24 Aug '05

Hi everyone, I've got a small question to ask. I am working with Dorado board which consist of SC2200 ( Geode based) as the processor. I am trying to load windows 2000 with LILO as boot loader with LinuxBIOS (LinuxBIOS + ADLO). I am not having VGA support. So I want to see the debug information on the serial (UART) port. I made serial port redirection at LinuxBIOS level. Is Serial port redirection possible after the Windows 2000 comes up. Can some one help me on serial port redirection at LILO level and OS booting level also. I am sorry if I am not clear. I am struck up at this level. So any help can be really boost for me. Thanks in advance, Regards, narahari

[LinuxBIOS] Possibly OT, but wotthehell - restricted memory C code
by Wesley Parish 23 Aug '05

I came across the LinuxBIOS articles in LinuxJournal and got interested in the description of romcc and what it did. Are there any books, articles, etc, (either C or Assembler) on writing code for a memory space as restricted and/or non-existent as romcc was written to handle? Thanks Wesley Parish -- Clinersterton beademung, with all of love - RIP James Blish ----- Mau e ki, he aha te mea nui? You ask, what is the most important thing?

Hi, is it possible to install LinuxBIOS on Wyse WinTerm 3360SE (Geode CS5530, Winbond W29C020C) and, if it is, where i can find necessary files (i tried on http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/freebios/freebios-20010708.tar.gz , but i couldn't find sources for this chipset) Thanx, Ivan.

> > Did Any body face problems using nt-loader to boot Windows 2K? > > With regards, > narahari Narahari, First: Please take the time to add a proper subject and trim your message. You replied to a digest and included the _entire_ digest. If you can't take the time and effort to format your message nicely then most lists will not take the time to respond to you. Re: your post. Most of the developers here are booting linux OS's so you are not going to get much help unless you are pretty specific about what problem you are seeing. I think only about 5 of us or so have messed with using ADLO and bochs bios to boot MS stuff. You may also have to seek the help of the bochs people but again you will need to provide more detail. Ie. What bios interrupt(s) you think may not be working and what you have tried. If you look at the wiki there are links to a write up for the sucessful booting of w2k from the author of ADLO. Perhaps it has the info you seek. -- Richard A. Smith
