So would someone who DOES have an account please edit the login page to put a mailto link there to allow users to at least know that the UI on that page isn't as described in the error you get when you try to create an account the way the page says to do so? It's guaranteed to be an FAQ which will bother everyone more than the time it would take to fix it on the page. Alan Mimms, Senior Architect F5 Networks, Inc.

Re: Geode GX1 and IRQ tables
by ramesh bios 28 Feb '05

Good point. I did not know about ACPI. Ok, looking through the source, I don't see ACPI in the gx1 code. So I presume that this means that LinuxBIOS doesn't provide ACPI support in the case of the Geode. Would I be able to test if Linux 2.6.10 is able to parse the normal BIOS' PIRQ table by booting linux with acpi=off? If it does work at that point, then I could assume that the area to be fixed would be the PIRQ table generation in LinuxBIOS. If not, then it'd be time to examine the kernel's pirq code. I'm still somewhat confused though. At the point that LB calls the kernel, shoudn't LB have used the IRQ table values to set the PCI config space registers to write IRQ values to the PCI config registers and such? And if that were done, Linux would not need to parse a PIRQ table, yes? Thanks. --- Stefan Reinauer <stepan(a)openbios.org> wrote: > * ramesh bios <ramesh_bios(a)yahoo.com> [050301 > 08:19]: > > That's odd.

That's odd. My understanding might be lacking. I think the PIRQ table parser in 2.6.10 seems to work because it works when I use the normal BIOS. Therefore allowing the inference that 2.6.10 can read the table that was generated by the normal BIOS, right? What do you think? I'm now reading through the Alan Cox/Christer geode PIRQ discussion to see if I missed something. --- "Ronald G.

Geode GX1 and IRQ tables
by ramesh bios 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

Hi all, I'd been away for a while. I have picked up another geode gx1 to play with. Previously I used the irq_tables from the pcm-5823 and that worked just fine as far as I could tell. This time around, with this board I hit trouble. I saw the: PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 0000:00:0b.0. in the log. And so I ran getpir, replaced the irq_tables.c file, rebuilt and reflashed. But I still get the same problem. I tried adding pci=biosirq but the error still occurs and appears to prevent getting ethernet working. Here's what getpir generated from my board. I'm gonna go try to understand what all of this means. If anyone has any advice or suggestions on what to do, please do let me know. Thanks!
