Boot from etherboot - blocked by INT 10
by Lawrence LL. Dai 10 Jan '03

10 Jan '03

Hi, When I try Linux bios to boot from Ethernet, I find it will be blocked by an instruction of INT 10. The kernel downloaded from TFTP server has the INT 10 instruction, while INT 10 has not been realized in Linux bios. So it is stopped. How can I resolve the problem? Thanks, Lawrence

Intel A, B, etc. nomenclature (fwd)
by Ronald G. Minnich 09 Jan '03

09 Jan '03

interesting note on intel speeds that I never noticed. ron ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 09 Jan 2003 08:45:26 -0500 From: JOHN DEGOOD <jdegood(a)sarnoff.com> To: rminnich(a)lanl.gov Subject: Intel A, B, etc. nomenclature When Intel does a die turn the speed range of the new processor sometimes overlaps with the earlier die, so to distinguish the chips they use "2.0 GHz", "2.0A GHz", "2.0B GHz", etc. The functionality often is significantly different, e.g. the P4 "1.8 GHz" has 256K cache, while the P4 "1.8A GHz" has 512K cache, so the "1.8A" benchmarks much better.

are there problems with this email? - what is a disc on chip? - beginner's question
by Alessio Sangalli 08 Jan '03

Hi, this is not the first time I write but in the past months I was too busy and I had no time to build a nice linuxbios-box! However now I'm going to buy a pchips motheboard so I can start to experiment. I've read the useful guide on the web; however I have some doubts: what about that disc on chip device: how much does it cost more or less? Why can't we use a normal FLASH memory like the ones used to store a standard BIOS? I can think those chips provide particular features, but which ones exactly? Aren't common flash/eeprom chips much easier to find and cheaper to buy? An external programmer could be needed (like for the eproms of etherboot) but most people could have access to such a device. Bye bye and thank you! as P.S. I've read just now that on the pchips motherboard for athlon cpus the L2 cache is not working. Is it true? As the cache is on the processor and not on the mainboard, I thought this wouldn't be a problem...

[COMMIT] Intel Clearwater
by steven james 08 Jan '03

08 Jan '03

Greetings, Just committed a small change to Config for Intel Clearwater. The change makes ZKERNEL_START = 0xfff00000 for a failover inage and 0xfff10000 for a primary. This change allows for two copies of bootselect. The one at 0xfff00000 should be considered part of the failover.

Fwd: 440BX - Worth the time?
by Dennis Veatch 08 Jan '03

Opps forgot the file. ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: 440BX - Worth the time? Date: Tuesday 07 January 2003 07:49 pm From: Dennis Veatch <dveatch(a)woh.rr.com> To: linuxbios(a)clustermatic.org I'm thinking about a switch to Linuxbios for this mobo. The status page on the website says unstable but there is no current date of this status. I looked through the archives and must have overlooked any references to this chipset. So would this board be a good candidate? A few notes about it. 1) currently a 400MHz PII that I plan on bumping up to a 700MHz PIII (slot 1). 2) the SCSI is an Adaptec 2940/7881. 3) the video card is an ATI Radeon 9000. Attached is the output of lspci -vvv. Any pointers will be most appreciated.
