Doesn't matter, both not working for me. I follow Richard's etherboot instructions on etherboot 5.1.8 but still no luck. Could it be my IDE harddisk not recognized ?

doesn't support 2Mbit rom?
by bendany 13 May '03

13 May '03

I am testing another mainboard with linuxbios. base on 440bx chipset. onboard 82558 netcard, ati rage 128 videocard and ess 1938 soundcard. the eprom is MX29F004, 4Mbit. I use the config of digitallogic/smartcore-p3.use the etherboot 5.06 payload. I build a 1M romimage. burn it into Atmel 29c010a. linuxbios can succeed load the etherboot payload. but the etherboot failed detecting the onboard netcard. so I try ADLO, and I replace the etherboot payload with ADLO. build a 2Mbit romimage. burn it into SST 29EE020. but the elfboot cannot find the ELF image of ADLO. ---------output message---------------- done. Copying IRQ routing tables to 0xf0000...done.

[Status] freebios1.1
by ebiederman＠lnxi.com 13 May '03

I have just merged a driver update from SuSE. IDE should now work. Resets new work to some extent. Romcc continues to stabilize. I have just found a bug in the register allocator and added a runtime check so the code will fail at compile time. In addition I have added a work around for the common case to let development continue. The problem is that some instructions must use a specific register, and when two of those instructions exist, use the same register and there is not an intermediate instruction that would move the value from one register to another then romcc fails to put the value into a different register. It skips the instruction because the register is already allocated. Fixing this problem and in general implement spilling from one register into another in romcc is now on the todo list. Doing this cleanly will take a little time. But it is also required to support storing values in the sse/mmx registers and other places. Eric

intel firmware hub parts

has anyone found a distributor for these parts? this is really amazing, but nobody I have talked to sells them. They get them via hook and crook from intel, but actually buy them? never happens. ron

TUSL2-C almost work.....
by Yap Ee Huey 13 May '03

13 May '03

Hi, I have some improvement on my TUSL2-C board (intel 82815ep chipset). The ram initialization is successful . However, it boots neither etherboot elf nor adlo payload. It hangs after the following messages from serial port . I put the tagged bzImage (not elf) on hda using : dd if=bzImage.ether of=/dev/hda bs=4096 skip=1 as suggested by ron but it does not seem to be recognized by linuxbios . I am using sis900.ebi as ide etherboot. Any idea ? Thanks. LinuxBIOS-1.0.0 Tue May 13 12:12:08 EDT 2003 starting...
