I wonder if it is after gzip or before gzip. -----Original Message----- From: ron minnich [mailto:rminnich@lanl.gov] Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2004 2:44 PM To: David Aubin Cc: YhLu; LinuxBIOS Subject: RE: Filo Error Help On Thu, 8 Jul 2004, David Aubin wrote: > If so could it be a size issue?

Status of the EPIA port?
by Adam Hunt 09 Jul '04

09 Jul '04

What is the current state of the EPIA port? I am interested in running LinuxBIOS on a EPIA PD 10000 (as soon as I can find a supplier in the States). Can X be run via the on-board VGA (as apposed to the LVDS). --adam

I could send you my elf, but it is about 6Mb.

Are you certain this initrd is ok? You could try booting the kernel and initrd on a known-good system to make sure the initrd is right. Do you have the right VFS for the initrd build into the kernel? ron

1. which MB? Which USB stick 2. please try .elf at first. It would be uda1:/ram0_2.5_2.6.5_k8.2_mydisk7.elf format your usb disk with FAT or ext2, because it seems reiserfs driver has some problem, and it will not work after abnormal shutdown. 3. I guess td is not be freed right after use. Regards YH

答复: CPU refactoring status....

The hardwaremain become more tidy. How about the progress about the romcc? I hope I can enable debug info while include all ati support stuff.

My gut feel is that I want to > incorporate the sizeram functionality into the resource allocator, Moving sizeram into read_resources/set_resources comes out fairly clean, but it did require some grunt work. That has allowed me to sort out the device tree and have a fairly generic method of initializing cpus. Cpus don't fit into device model methods as nicely as I would like (largely because their methods have to run on the cpu in question). But it does work well enough I can remove the special case from hardwaremain. I still have a special case in the root_device methods but that can be overridden, if necessary. Because I have restructured where things fall in the device tree. Because I have removed the sizeram call. Because I have refactored x86 cpu handling. Because I have removed the array initial_apic_id. Every port in the tree is likely to break when I check this code in. I have the arima/hdama working and I can with a little care fix up the k8 based ports. I can also likely fixup the recent e7501 forward port from the freebios tree. However beyond that I don't have testing resources to fix things up so I am looking for some feedback before I break everything. When in the next week or so is a good time? Does any one have concerns about this set of changes? I have attached my current version of hardwaremain below to give a feel of what the changes look like. Ok now I am off to bed.

freebios1 sis-kernel_patch for 2.6
by Thomas Wehrspann 08 Jul '04

08 Jul '04

Hi, i'm still using the K7SEM Motherboard with DiskOnChip Milleniuim an LinuxBIOS. Linux 2.6 has some features i need and want, so i ported parts of the latest 2.4 sis-kernel_patch and the ide-spinup.patch to the 2.6 kernel some time ago. I combined both patches into one. I didn't port the SiSFB-Lite part of the SiS-Patch, because the SiS graphics driver in the kernel changed a lot. The SiS framebuffer seems to work better with kernel 2.6 and linuxbios than it was with kernel 2.4 and linuxbios. But i have to call the fbset utility first after booting with linuxbios. I do not have the knowledge to fix that. Greetings Thomas Wehrspann

Hello I'm curious if a IBM thin client (8363-EXX or Netvista 2200) can use linuxbios? Thanks for any info
