problems with pchips 810lmr
by Paulo Richards 27 Jan '03

27 Jan '03

Hi, i need help about linux bios I have a 810lmr with an athlon xp 1500+ cpu, and 160MB of ram. Also i get a DoC to put linux bios on it, i follow the sis630 guide from the linuxbios website and the Antony Stone's personal experience guide, i follow every single step, and it's seems to be ok, but when i reboot the mainboard there's no output on the monitor (don't even a blink), the keyboard leds (caps lock and scroll lock) start to blink and the hard drive seems to work (it make noise). So, i hook up a serial cable for listening the serial port and this is what i get (attached file). It's seems to be fine for me, but i don't really know what exactly means... There's anyone could help me? What i did wrong? Thanks Paulo Richards

Tiger MPX
by Jarmo Tulonen 27 Jan '03

27 Jan '03

Hello I've been testing LinuxBIOS on Tyan's Tiger MPX, using etherboot as payload, but with no luck so far. Nothing is output to the serial port and nothing sent to the ethernet so I guess I must have something fundamentally wrong. Steven : I used as configuration the file "example-normal.config" that you provided, just replacing the path to etherboot, and the files under .../mainboard/tyan/TigerMPX without modification. I've understood that you tested it on a similar board (or was it the "-4M" version ?) Any ideas how to proceed ? Jarmo

All, Packages for LinuxBIOS and our management utilities are now available on our ftp site-> ftp://ftp.lnxi.com/pub/src/linuxbios Current boards include: Supermicro: p4dpr, p4dpe Tyan: s2466 Utilites: (detailed man pages included) lbflash - initial flash and BIOS update utility. cmos_util - CMOS management utility. bios_copy - creating a backup of the factoryBIOS. I've made them available in RPM, SRPM package format and included a tarball as well. It's suggested that you read the NEWS file for the latest update and feature information on each release.

26 Jan '03

Hi. We will have to install linuxbios on a number of systems for multimedia applications. Reading the page http://www.clustermatic.org/lb/status/index.html it seems that pc-chips motherboards aren't so well supported as I thought at first; which socketA mobo would you suggest me for the best compatibility with linuxbios? elitegroup k7sem perhaps? bye & thank you as

RE: linuxbios (fwd)

Maybe you use wincvs to check the source code in Windows, the "config" directory and "Config" file together in the same directory will generate conflict.

Preferences and distributions
by Gregg C Levine 25 Jan '03

25 Jan '03

Hello again from Gregg C Levine Just for the sake of argument, and any other supporting reasons, does anyone have a preference, regarding the distributions that they use? I, myself, prefer Slackware for most things, and indeed I've been using it since starting my interests in Linux. But I'm rapidly reaching the decision that I should use others as well. The next time a box goes live here, it'll be wearing Debian, instead. So? What does everyone prefer? ------------------- Gregg C Levine hansolofalcon(a)worldnet.att.net ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."

Open BIOS for XBox
by Bari Ari 23 Jan '03

23 Jan '03

There is an interesting story on Slashdot http://slashdot.org/ about an open source BIOS for the XBox http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=54192 They say they don't have the video up yet, but it's on the list. Very interesting since they seem to have worked out the BIOS for the NVidia chipset without any data sheets. Bari
