K8 MTRR reboot on Solo
by Stefan Reinauer 06 Oct '03

06 Oct '03

Hi, I came a bit further with debugging my mysterious reboots after setting up mtrr. This only happens if I build the image on an AMD64 distribution. With an older x86 distribution, the resulting image is operable. Either my romcc changes were somewhat incomplete, or gcc -m32 on Opteron behaves different than gcc on a 32bit machine.

TUSL2-C 815ep failed
by Yap Ee Huey 06 Oct '03

06 Oct '03

Hi , I have been trying to get linuxbios working on TUSL2-C ( 815ep chipset ) for half a year already. By using the newest patch from heechul, my motherboard still refuse to boot when trying to load the kernel. It should be a RAM init problem although it seems to be working until trying to load the etherboot ide_disk: * Serial Presence Detect (in heechul's patch) doesn't work on TUSL2-C : smbus cannot detect correct value of RAM dimensions. ** There is a continuous beep sound (not stated in award beep codes, like ambulance :) ) if using linuxbios or no bios is inserted. * Must use aflash.exe to flash the bios. /dev/bios and uniflash doesn't work although the flash rom is recognized. Hence, from point 2 and 3 and some comments from uniflash developer, I am suspecting some hardware protection from ASUS which prevent modification in bios by individual. I hope I am wrong and some of you can point that out. I have the matsonic ms7057 (815ep chipset ) linuxbios source from Heechul which should be newer than the one in linuxbios source tree ( this one has RAM dimension auto detect using SPD registers). By using this raminit.inc, three things have to be changed : configure_buffsc (no autodetect) configure_smrcomp (no autodetect) #define SMB_IO_BASE 0x1000 (IO address may vary) It should work on ms7057 and ga-6oxe. Hope this info can help somebody in future. thx. regards, eehuey _________________________________________________________________ Download ringtones, logos and picture messages from MSN Malaysia http://www.msn.com.my/mobile/ringtones/default.asp

cpuid max index
by Stefan Reinauer 06 Oct '03

06 Oct '03

Hi, cpuid.c prints the following on Athlon64: Max cpuid index : 1 Vendor ID : AuthenticAMD Processor Type : 0x00 Processor Family : 0x0f Processor Model : 0x04 Processor Mask : 0x00 Processor Stepping : 0x08 Feature flags : 0x078bfbff Now, I guess the max cpuid index should be noticably higher, not only 1. cpuid() in cpuid.h looks ok, though..?

romcc and EPIA
by SONE Takeshi 06 Oct '03

06 Oct '03

I noticed romcc has support for MMX/SSE registers and epia/Config.lb does not use it. Is there any problem using MMX registers on a C3? I also wonder why -mcpu=p3 is required to enable MMX support of romcc. IIRC, MMX has been supported since Pentium MMX and up, and Pentium III adds SSE. Isn't it better to have options like -mmmx and -msse, instead of -mcpu=<name>. There are too many CPUs. -- Takeshi

>>David Hendriks has tested and I have committed these new idt.c and >>vgabios.c You mean Now vga for EPIA-10000 is available? Is it possible to use by setting Config file or is there other way?

The Great Cheap EPIA contest.
by ron minnich 05 Oct '03

05 Oct '03

OK, I've found this place: http://www.directron.com/minibarebone1.html Here's the question: how cheap can I build an EPIA node? this means case, power supply, epia, etc. Or how cheap can I get a case so I can get boards from Andrew with LinuxBIOS on them :-) ron

p64h2_enable_ioapic
by Andrew Ip 05 Oct '03

05 Oct '03

Hi, In src/southbridge/intel/82870/p64h2_ioapic.c, p64h2_enable_ioapic is hard coded to initialize io apic address numbers 3,4,5,&8. However, I have a custom board which has 3,4,5,8,9 and 10. In order to get it to work, I have to change for(i=0,dev=0;i<4;i++) { to for(i=0,dev=0;i<6;i++) { To fix it properly, I think we have to detect the number of APIC instead of hard code it.
