ANN: arima hdama boots...
by ebiederman＠lnxi.com 12 Jul '03

12 Jul '03

I have finally gotten all of the hard codes out of the memory initialization code and I can get the Arima HDAMA dual Opteron motherboard booting. And I have checked in the code. There is a lot more to do including cleanup of the code that works but one major piece is done. Eric

freebios2 and $Id:
by ebiederman＠lnxi.com 12 Jul '03

12 Jul '03

Unless someone has something to say in defense of the $Id: construct I am hereby banning it from the freebios2 tree. It makes it a pain to maintain a secondary CVS tree in sync as there are multiple unnecessary hits. Didn't we already ban $Id: ? in freebios2. In any case a huge lot of them had slipped in and I have removed all of them from the tree. And I intend to keep doing that when ever I find more of them. Eric

Any EPIA etherboot success stories?
by David Hendricks 11 Jul '03

11 Jul '03

I see a lot of people here have gotten LinuxBIOS working with the Via EPIA using an IDE device, but has anyone managed to get it working using etherboot to boot a kernel over a network? I'm a hopeless newbie and have been struggling with this for some time. I have links to logs, my payload, and my config below (Trying to keep the list archives tidy). I had gotten etherboot working with the PCM-5823s earlier and compared the minicom log with that of my Epia. The only real obvious discrepency I see is the entry point. The Geode entered at 0x00094000 (606,208), while the Epia is trying to enter at 0x00020000 (131,072). I'm using CVS versions of Etherboot and LinuxBios. However, I haven't been able to update in the past one or two weeks due to Sourceforge's problems so I might have missed an important patch.

elfboot
by Xavier Pegenaute 10 Jul '03

10 Jul '03

Hi, any one can help me with this ? I was thinking that after crt0.S in ROMBASE (0x80000 for Matsonic) copy the LinuxBios (the payload) into DRAM (RAMBASE 0x4000 for Matsonic) follow the code to hardwaremain() initialitizing all hardware and arrive in write_tables that prepare the memory to let information about the hardware to the next O.S., and now we can choose between: 1) We want start an ELF binary (not payload) that is in DoC (p.e.) after LinuxBios. Then we execute elfboot() that look inside the ROM for the next code starting with a valid ELF header, build the segments, copy the segments and give the control to the program. No problem in this case, i think. 2) We want start a Linux Kernel that is recorded (neither payload) after LinuxBios binary in DoC (p.e.), then we execute linuxbiosmain() and in the end of this function we make a long jump to 0x90000. Here, i don't see what function in linuxbiosmain() copy the code of Kernel to DRAM.Any one know it ? Thanks. Xavi.

Sourceforge and CVS
by McMechan, James W CIV 09 Jul '03

It may that the CVS delays ~24 hours are a result of external pserver requests/ViewCVS being routed to the backup CVS system, it appears that SF is trying to organize for a hardware upgrade, and is providing direct connections to the main servers only when logged in via SSH, anonymous connections are being deferred to the backup server farm which has the ~24 hour delay. http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=2352&group_id=1#cvs see the message from 6-19-2003. They also have a August target date for the new hardware. Also while I still can't access CVS due to firewall issues I did download the automated daily snapshot tarball from http://cvs.sf.net/cvstarballs/freebios-cvsroot.tar.gz It does not appear to have been updated since Wed July 2,2003 16:50 was that the last checkin or is something else broken at SF, but still it is much more recent than that 2001 tarball I had before.
