Using ADLO with Linuxbios
by Shubhangi Jadhav 29 Apr '03

29 Apr '03

Hi, I have 512k bios, so the kernel should be put somewhere on the harddisk. Hence I'm using ADLO with Linuxbios. However I'm not able to get linuxbios working. I followed these steps : Build the ADLO payload as per the instructions in the readme for ADLO. Appended the following entry to the config file : USE_ELF_BOOT=0 payload /home/shubhangi/freebios/util/ADLO/payload Build the romimage using this config file. Is this the correct way to use ADLO? Thanks for any help. Regards, Shubhangi

Linuxbios + ADLO
by Yap Ee Huey 29 Apr '03

29 Apr '03

Hi hackers, Thanks for all the answers regarding linuxbios + etherboot +tagged kernel image . But I don't want to modify my partitions, so I have changed my approach. I am using ADLO with Linuxbios now, I have: ADLO file -> payload 65k Linuxbios ROM -> linuxbios.rom 64k I specify in my config file : option USE_ELF_BOOT=1 payload payload And then I build a romimage (256k) with payload padded to (192k) dd conv=sync bs=196608 if=payload of=payload.block and linuxbios.rom at the end 64k . cat payload.block linuxbios.rom > romimage Does this make sense ? The result is negative. I can't boot. I have tried to put linuxbios.rom at first 64k and then following with ADLO payload and padded to 256k. Negative result also. What is the correct placement in rom to load linuxbios.rom at the first place and then tell it to go to ADLO payload ? Thanks everyone, eehuey _________________________________________________________________ Using a handphone prepaid card? Reload your credit online! http://www.msn.com.my/reloadredir/default.asp

I have try several time. using the ADLO with Int13 support. when I using the LILO & Grub , I works with the IBM harddisk. but when I use the Flash IDE disk. always give me LI 01 01 01 ... with LILO. or with Grub, too slow. but with the etherboot+AA . it sounds great!. :-) > > - Adam Agnew > > > On Thu, 1 May 2003, bendany wrote: > > >

RE: vgabios emulation status

AFAIK, the best way of VGA emulation is using ADLO. Because ADLO run boch bios, VGABIOS can be excuted just like as it comes with other commercial bios environment. Heechul

etherboot dosen't find my elfkernel
by Richard Smith 28 Apr '03

28 Apr '03

I've got etherboot loading now. I took a bzImage and turned it into a elfimage with mkelfimage bzImage elfimage using mkelfimage 2.5 then stuck that on my CF in the first partition ie 'cat elfimage > /dev/hde1' where hde is the pcmcia mount of my CF Stick it in my target and boot. I get: < linux bios stuff snipped> Etherboot 5.1.8 (GPL) Tagged ELF for [IDE] Relocating _text from: [00023d20,00032e30) to [07ff0ef0,08000000) Probing pci disk...

Bios flashing continued
by Nathanael Noblet 28 Apr '03

28 Apr '03

Hello again, I'm at the point trying to figure out how to get linuxbios flashed onto the flash chip. The board I have is a sis530. The flash_on program just tells me it can't access the sis 950 and ./flash_rom gives me a bunch of messages of what it is trying to find. I'm guessing because flash_on didn't work. I've built a kernel with all the chips set as modules and preloaded all the modules. Ron told me that the 550 could be flashed and this is probably not much different, which still may be the case but well... at the moment it doesn't. So I'm wondering, what is the method I would use to go about finding how to enable the flash so that I can burn it. The flash_on is trying to get the sis 950 which was the superio chip used on most of those board. My board is the ITE 8661F. pointers on where to proceed would be appreciated. -- Nathanael Noblet Gnat Solutions 4604 Monterey Ave NW Calgary, AB T3B 5K4 T/F 403.288.5360 C 403.809.5368 http://www.gnat.ca/

RE: Debugging the linuxBIOS code
by Colin Hall 27 Apr '03

Adam, My board has a 3v3-only PCI bus, so I have the same requirement. The cards I have considered are listed below. My understanding is that the Micro-2000 POST-Probe [5] is the only one that can be powered from 3v3. It does not meet your price point, I'm afraid. I am about to place an order for the rather expensive Micro-2000 POST-Probe, so anyone who can recommend something cheaper for a 3v3-only bus would be doing me a great favour. Best Regards, Colin.
