remove the code for check if the sector is really erased. ( compare if it is =0xff). And it is only last 4k. YH -----邮件原件----- 发件人: Hendricks David W.

You can run flash_rom multiple times and it will eventually flash successfully using kernel 2.6.5 (Use the -v flag). Weird...

clueless
by Ian Zimmerman 08 Apr '04

08 Apr '04

I want to explore using LinuxBIOS with one of a few particular motherboards. But I don't really know where to start, despite the fact that the boards are listed on the Web site as working. This is because there are only 4 documents in the HOWTO directory explaining the details for 4 boards; what about the dozens of others? How do I know, for example, if I need the Disk On Chip? I am talking specifically about the Tyan Tiger MPX and its cousins. If there is a FAQ list likely to answer this (and other similarly clueless questions I'm sure will follow from me) I'll be grateful for a pointer. But nothing either in the distribution itself of on the official website qualifies, I am afraid.

Can the user use the disk bootloader to install OS into HD?

Ok. I was starting to wonder if you were out there. I am looking at using FILO as a disked based bootloader. So I might just write that code and send you a patch. Right now I think a bootloader of this type with a config file is not terribly useful.

XScale Port
by Bari Ari 08 Apr '04

08 Apr '04

We're starting back up a LinuxBIOS port to ARM with the Xscale processors. The port should make it easier for anyone using the PXA, IXP, IXC and IOP Intel parts in the future. We're going to be looking at also supporting PCI-PCI bridges (transparent and non-transparent) and PCI southbridges that are used in the x86 PC world. I'm interested in what, if any graphics controllers were used and supported via the PPC port of LinuxBIOS. Were any PC type graphics controllers used (eg. ATI, Silicon Motion) and how were they supported for init., driver etc. -Bari

pnp init call and winbond HWM enable patch.
by YhLu 08 Apr '04

08 Apr '04

Ron or Ollie, Please help to commit the patch. 1. pnp init calling patch. ( two ops confusing in old code) 2. Winbond w83627hf HWM enable. In case for lmsensors to read sensors in addition to smbus to adm1027, it can access other behind w83627hf. Eric, Does the NSC PC87360 need outb 0x2e 0x87 two times to enter extension function mode to manipulate the 0x30 above regs of LPC? Regards YH

So the header add by mkelfImage, bypass the int 15 e820h.

It does not have any mkelfImage bypass that piece of kernel code. We read an equivalent table out of the LinuxBIOS table and pass it to the kernel instead. Eric

Because the NUMA is not mature in Linux, or just X86-64?? YH -----邮件原件----- 发件人: ron minnich [mailto:rminnich@lanl.gov] 发送时间: 2004年4月6日 10:04 收件人: YhLu 抄送: Eric W.

This is the idea behind Eric's linuxbios tables. Also IIRC we do have e820 tables in memory: has linux stopped using them? Linux used to say: "We don't need no steenking BIOS". With the later 2.4.x and 2.6, they seem to be saying "We really need the steenking BIOS". What is going on with Linux? They're moving backwards. We really don't want to support INT type stuff. ron
