FW: Boot problem
by Sagiv Yefet 22 Sep '04

I used : mkelfImage-2.5 The command: ./objdir/sbin/mkelfImage -t bzImage-i386 --kernel=/home/sagivy/vmlinuz \ --command-line="console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/hda3" \ --initrd=/home/sagivy/initrd --output=/home/sagivy/vmlinuz.elf I had problem in building mkelfImage: linux-i386/head.S: Assembler messages: linux-i386/head.S:458: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `U' So in file convert.h I change from: #define CONVERT_MAGIC 0XA5A5A5A5UL To: #define CONVERT_MAGIC 0XA5A5A5A5 and then it was built.

How did you create the elf? Which version of mkelfImage (If that's what you used)?

amdk8_scan_chains() questions
by Liu Tao 22 Sep '04

22 Sep '04

Hello, In AMD's <<BIOS and Kernel developer's Guide>> 3.3.16 LDTi Bus Number Registers section it says that if the link contains the HT IO hub the secondary bus number must be programmed to 0. But amdk8_scan_chains() is called with max=0, so it won't write the secondary register of any link to 0? Or some other code handles this case? Regards, Liu Tao

I second Stefan's response. I was so stubborn at first to try This and then it helped me so much! So please try this or Netconsole. I suspect your kernel could not mount the file System you specified. If you try the above methods you should See exactly what failed. I think...

You did not specify to use serial console for your Linux kernel. add something like "console=ttyS0,115200n8" to your command line.

I prepared a kernel elf file. The station is up and it loads the elf file. Then nothing happens. Just print something: Firmware: bios is Linuxbios What can be the problem? Sagiv

It does. Etherboot can masquerade as PXE. Unless I'm missing something, I'm not sure why you would want to do that since the DHCP server will send a PXE image, which then has to grab the kernel. Etherboot can just grab the whole thing in one swoop. David Atlanta, GA

Re: EPIA-M, LinuxBIOS1, RAM size
by Trellix78＠aol.com 20 Sep '04

I'd look in src/arch/i386/lib/hardwaremain.c. get_ramsize() in void hardwaremain() seems to be the culprit for RAM size. That's where I've been mucking about trying to do automatic memory sizing for the Epia M. I don't have any specs for the northbridge registers, so it's been slow going. I've been working from the spec sheets for an AMD 762 hoping to hit something. However, The 762 seems to conform better to standards. I also suspect an incorrect RAM size is causing the AGP GART setup code to crash the system both in LinuxBIOS and the AGP drivers in Linux. Good luck, and will somebody let me know when and where RAM sizing is working.

Epia-PD anyone?
by Andreas Thienemann 20 Sep '04

20 Sep '04

Hi, I'm wondering if the epia-pd is already supported? From what I could gather, it should not be different than the current epia-m board. However, trying the epia-m code on the -pd results in a blank screen, no serial, no beeps, no nothing. just a dead box. So, either I missed something, or I did something wrong. bye, andreas

So no one can tell me where to look to bump the RAM size up to 256M under linuxbios1?

linuxbios on epai-m boards
by Dieter Bloms 20 Sep '04

20 Sep '04

Hi, I want to use the linuxbios on my epai-m board. In the status page the support for this board is unstable. Is it possible to reflash the board with the original software, if the linuxbios doesn't work as aspected ? I haven't got a flash programmer, so if the bios doesn't work, I can throw the board out. -- Gruß Dieter -- I do not get viruses because I do not use MS software. If you use Outlook then please do not put my email address in your address-book so that WHEN you get a virus it won't use my address in the From field.
