New to LinuxBIOS - PIII?
by Evan Langlois 17 Oct '03

17 Oct '03

Hi, I'm new to the list, and haven't really had a chance to read through all the archives. But, perhaps someone can give me a recommendation. We're considering using LinuxBIOS for various reasons (well, I am), however looking at the web site and vendor list is a bit disappointing. I'm a bit concerned about long-term availability since most motherboards marked as "stable" are already at the end of their lifecycle. I'm hoping that list is outdated. We (err ... I) would be willing to do minor coding to help the project, and maybe help out in other ways, but unfortuneately, I simply don't have the time or experience in the sort of low-level coding required to be of any practical use. Doing a port to another board is probably beyond my capability at the moment, and I certainly have plenty of other projects. Basically, I'm hoping to get LinuxBIOS into a reliable, server-grade Pentium III (or better) motherboard that can handle a 1+ Ghz CPU. Preferably with dual Intel NICs on-board. I know, I'm asking way too much. From there, I'd like to customize the kernel in the ROM to provide encrypted hard disk support (likely an IDE Flash drive), and loading our software from an encrypted drive so people can't yank out the drive and read it. If anyone has suggestions or recommendations, I'd certainly appreciate it. Thank you, Evan Langlois

help, about the rom size of LinuxBIOS.
by bendany 16 Oct '03

16 Oct '03

hi,all. My mb is EPIA M800, and I got some 1Mb flash chips. I can compile LinuxBIOS+VGABIOS+FILO, got a 256kbytes rom. but when I change config file , to make it fit in 1Mb flash, I got a 196kbytes rom. I think the size of linuxbios, filo, and vgabios(which is 48kbyte) can fit into 128kbyte flash rom. so how can I make it? here is my wrong config: ========================================================= # # LinuxBIOS config file for: VIA epia mini-itx # target build # via epia mainboard via/epia # Enable Serial Console for debugging option SERIAL_CONSOLE=1 option TTYS0_BAUD=115200 option DEFAULT_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL=9 option DEBUG=1 # Use 256KB Standard Flash as Normal BIOS option RAMTEST=1 option USE_GENERIC_ROM=1 option STD_FLASH=1 #option ZKERNEL_START=0xfffc0000 option ROM_SIZE=131072 # payload size = 192KB option PAYLOAD_SIZE=98304 # use ELF Loader to load Etherboot option USE_ELF_BOOT=1 option VGABIOS_START=0xfffc0000 option ZKERNEL_START=0xfffcc000 option HAVE_FRAMEBUFFER=1 option SMA_SIZE=8 option CONFIG_VGABIOS=1 option CONFIG_REALMODE_IDT=1 option CONFIG_PCIBIOS=1 dir src/bioscall # Use FILO,VGABIOS as payload payload ../payload.bin addaction romimage /bin/cp -f romimage $(HOME)/linuxbios_epia.bin ======================================================== Best Reguards.

Solo tests with 1.1.5 fail
by Stefan Reinauer 16 Oct '03

16 Oct '03

Hi, I get reboots again, this time it's not dependent on the gcc version I use.. Eric, there are some weird bits in the attached log, can you help to interpret them? From what I see some the SuperIO setup has severe trouble, and some of the resources seem to be given out twice... Stefan -- Architecture Team SuSE Linux AG

bus allocation
by Stefan Reinauer 16 Oct '03

16 Oct '03

Hi, the bus allocation is currently very different from what older LinuxBIOS trees and Phoenix/Award BIOS do. One obvious change is that Bus 0 has no devices except the CPUs, bus 1 contains the 8151/8131 and 8111, bus2 the pci/agp bus behind the bridge on bus1 etc. I wonder whether this can cause trouble. Does hardware expect the bus to be arranged in a certain way? i.e. all 8111 devices before the agp bus or similar? I found that the solo dies right before it should do PNP SuperIO enumeration: hdama.log: PCI: pci_scan_bus for bus 4 PCI: 04:00.0 [1022/7464] ops PCI: 04:00.0 [1022/7464] enabled PCI: 04:00.1 [1022/7464] ops PCI: 04:00.1 [1022/7464] enabled PCI: 04:00.2 [1022/7463] ops PCI: 04:00.2 [1022/7463] enabled amd8111_enable dev: PCI: 04:01.0 lpc_dev: PCI: 01:04.0 index: 9 reg: ff9f -> fd9f done PCI: 04:01.0 [ffff/ffff] disabled PCI: 04:06.0 [1002/4752] enabled PCI: pci_scan_bus returning with max=04 PNP: 002e.0 enabled PNP: 002e.1 enabled PNP: 002e.2 enabled PNP: 002e.3 enabled solo.log: PCI: pci_scan_bus for bus 3 PCI: 03:00.0 [1022/7464] ops PCI: 03:00.0 [1022/7464] enabled PCI: 03:00.1 [1022/7464] ops PCI: 03:00.1 [1022/7464] enabled PCI: 03:00.2 [1022/7463] ops PCI: 03:00.2 [1022/7463] enabled amd8111_enable dev: PCI: 03:01.0 lpc_dev: PCI: 01:05.0 index: 9 reg: ff9f -> fd9f done PCI: 03:01.0 [ffff/ffff] disabled PCI: 03:05.0 [10b7/9200] enabled Copying LinuxBIOS to ram.

Is this elementary for getting HT to work properly, or is it based on the current algorithm? To keep boot times as short as possible, it'd be better to only do one reset and gather all setup functions that need reset before that.

Right. I am not quite certain what the most maintainable technique really is. I am tempted to put off initializing most of RAM until someplace in the main body of the code, and have a variable I can set to tell the code I would like to do a reset. Mostly I figured make it work properly today. Optimize it tomorrow.

According to the comment in the southbridge code, it has speed problem when native mode.

I always had trouble with the 8231 native mode 3 years ago. I ended up giving up and always using compatibility mode.

I guess you have to specify the size of LinuxBIOS itself. (maybe ROM_IMAGE_SIZE?)

LinuxBIOS + FILO boots RedHat 9 CD-ROM
by SONE Takeshi 15 Oct '03

15 Oct '03

I'm adding ATAPI CD-ROM driver and ISO-9660 filesystem to FILO. So far, RedHat 9 installation CD-ROM boots with FILO commandline like: boot: hdc:/isolinux/vmlinuz initrd=hdc:/isolinux/initrd.img (hdc is my CD-ROM drive). It sometimes fails to detect my USB mouse, but the fullscreen graphical installer is working beautifully on my EPIA 5000. :) (I'm using VGABIOS. I didn't try a PS/2 mouse since it is reported to not work on EPIA). Before RedHat I tried KNOPPIX 3.3. It uses El Torito floppy emulation and I already added the code to mount the El Torito floppy image. It boots, but hangs during the device detection phase I think. Perhaps it expects the video is already switched to graphical mode by the realmode part of Linux, which we don't execute. I have already downloaded SuSE and Debian iso images, but I ran out of my coasters. Anyway, guys, this is fun. :) I'll release FILO 0.4 when some cleanup work is done. Current CD driver is hackish and has an issue with media detection. -- Takeshi

Re: Number of resets in 1.1.5
by YhLu 15 Oct '03

Stephan, The code seems already only reset once in the misc_control.c. Other reset may be caused by other reasons. Regards YH. -----邮件原件----- 发件人: Stefan Reinauer [mailto:stepan@suse.de] 发送时间: 2003年10月15日 4:51 收件人: linuxbios(a)clustermatic.org 主题: Number of resets in 1.1.5 Hi, LinuxBIOS 1.1.5 currently does a couple of resets on the HDAMA before it actually boots the payload. Is this elementary for getting HT to work properly, or is it based on the current algorithm? To keep boot times as short as possible, it'd be better to only do one reset and gather all setup functions that need reset before that.
