Development fork on the way
by ron minnich 15 Apr '03

15 Apr '03

This is a warning, but no action has yet occured. It is time to lock down LinuxBIOS in its current state and build a development fork. What's going to happen is a feature freeze. We want to freeze the core and make sure it works for everyone. What that will mean is that once we freeze, almost nothing but files in src/mainboard will change, and we want to keep that to a minimum. One thing I need from everyone "owning" a mainboard: I would like you to email me with the names of mainboards you own. I plan to fill out the status files with that info. If a mainboard has no "owner" it will not appear in the development tree, since we have no way to test it. This means systems like the IBM T23 will disappear from the development tree. So please start thinking now about what mainboards you can take responsibility for. We need all the help we can get. thanks ron

OK, I'm having problems working with etherboot 5.1.7. Linuxbios is telling me it can't load the elf image. But when I use 5.0.8 it works fine.(Using the ebi) Are there any changes that I need to make in my config file in linuxbios to work with 5.1.7 Denis

I will surely contribute from my side once I know in and out of LinuxBIOS. For now, it is for other implementors to contribute more on this. rminnich(a)lanl.gov wrote On Tue, 15 Apr 2003 dkotian3(a)vsnl.net wrote: > Or is there some kind of Porting Guide or Porting Architecture > document for LinuxBIOS not yet, but we accept contributions. ron

Are the additional experiences or porting help for LinuxBIOS
by dkotian3＠vsnl.net 15 Apr '03

15 Apr '03

Hi, Are the additional experiences or porting help for LinuxBIOS I checked up the following location http://www.linuxbios.org/developer/portguides/index.html But could only find two over here. They are mainly for Disk-On-chip, is there something for ADLO or etherboot or some more porting issues. Or is there some kind of Porting Guide or Porting Architecture document for LinuxBIOS Please let me know. Thanks and Regards Deepak

[commit] tiger-i7501
by steven james 15 Apr '03

Greetings, Might as well join the party. I've comitted the tiger-i7501. For anyone working on a 7501 board, Eric's made some adjustments to the raminit code, it's worth updating your tree and trying the 533MHz FSB again.

Releases...
by ebiederman＠lnxi.com 15 Apr '03

15 Apr '03

Over the last several months I have been pushing Ron to start making stable releases of the LinuxBIOS tree. I have contributed the code for Version numbers, and I have been stable releases for boards I support from my own tree. Watching the LinuxBIOS tree one of the things I have seen is that change happens, and it breaks old ports. And as a developer I want more change so new ports are easier to do and simpler to maintain. The path forward as I see it is to freeze the core of the tree, and to have a stable 1.0 release series. With the goal being that from release to release, we do not break any existing port in the tree. To achieve this we need to freeze the core of the tree. And put any chipset code into at least a slush so fixing one board does not break an old board. Once all of the working boards are available in the stable tree, there is not a need to avoid breaking things in the development branch. A working even if someday antiquated version will always be available just be fetching an old stable release. So that is my plan for breaking everything without breaking anything:) Eric
