linuxbios can't identify celeron 850MHz
by James Alton 05 Nov '02

05 Nov '02

Zhu, It seems that your 850mhz celeron chip should be running at a 100Mhz bus (8.5x clock multiplier. 8.5*100mhz = 850Mhz) instead, you are feeding it 66Mhz. (8.5*66 = 560Mhz) You can fix this by talking to your clock chip and telling it to change the clock speed. (Which involves finding your clock chip on the motherboard, looking up to see if there's already code for it, or if you have to hack out code yourself using spec sheets. lots of fun.) -James Alton -jalton(a)olsh.cx >Hi, everyone, > I met one problem, linuxbios can't identify celeron >850Mhz. i'm using linux-kernel 2.4.18, cvs-freebios, >winfast6300. when using linuxbios boot, linux can't identify >celeron 850MHz, it shows the cpu is at 560MHz. >when using normal bios boot, linux can identify >celeron 850MHz, it shows the cpu is at 850MHz. >what's the problem, please help me. > > thanks > zhu

sbc8240 board bring up
by "Hammond, Jean-François" 05 Nov '02

05 Nov '02

Hi Ron, I did not bring up the board with the linux bios, but I finally print a message on the serial port. I am beginning the linux bios porting now. I got some questions first : 1 - Does linux bios needs any special memory mapping, memory settings ? 2 - Do I need to use address translation on the PCI ? 3 - Is there any special settings to use a video card ? (Yes, I got one.) 3D Blaster Banshee :-) Regards, Jean-François Hammond Software Designer Mindready Solutions inc. 2800, avenue Marie-Curie Saint-Laurent (Québec) Canada H4S 2C2 Tel. : (1) 514-339-1394 ext. 2121 Fax. : (1) 514-339-1376 mailto:jean-francois.hammond@mindready.com www.mindready.com

DOC ATA Modules & EPIA DOC
by Nicholas Mistry 05 Nov '02

05 Nov '02

I am looking finding alternatives to having a physical harddrive in my machine, i was wondering if anyone here has experience w/ either of the following. My goal is to boot LinuxBIOS out of flash, and then Linux off a Solid State Devices. ATA-Disk Module SST58SM128 http://www.sst.com/products.xhtml/mass_storage/58/SST58SM128 or similar from Apacer http://www.apacer.com/product/flash/index_adc_adm.html Currently i am using CF w/ an ATA -> IDE adapter. I have not found a way to write protect my CF data. as a side note.. I am still looking into the DOC option for the EPIA motherboard, via has not replied to any of my requests as to what type of chips are supported on the DOC PAD on the EPIA-800e motherboard. Anyone know more about this? Thanks -Nick

Sounds like the changes that when in for the compressor... And please we either need to start a list just for those with commit priveleges or we need to talk about this on the public list. But I refuse to have unsolicited private discussions about things that are LinuxBIOS related and do not weird hardware vendors where NDA come into view. I just don't have the bandwidth to keep that many threads in my head. Eric

If you want to ask a question please ask it publicly. As for the HPA. If my memory serves me correctly you do not need any special permissions to access it, just a special command or two to the drive. But I may be thinking of something else. Eric

Two possible boards...
by Nathanael Noblet 04 Nov '02

04 Nov '02

Hello, I'm interested in working on a couple boards. One is a sis530 and the other an intel 430VX. I have the cvs code checked out today. What I am really unsure of is how to proceed. I have a data/spec sheet on the sis530 (and its onboard 3d video card). But I look at the source tree and there are SO many empty directories and such. Is there some kind of how-to on where to start to get a board supported? I'm really at a loss. What code needs to be written so that a particular board works? I realize that that is a pretty open ended question. I just don't know where to start in a project like this. -- 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/

by Dino 04 Nov '02

Hi! Is anyone know how to flash linuxbios to FlashROM, I use the K7SEM , I see many document on the website , I understand how to burn linuxbios to the DOC (These documents on the wbesite are very detailed), but i don't know how to burn linuxbios to the FlashROM , Is use the program like AWDFLASH , AMIxxx or uniflash ? or using a Flash Burner ? , How to make a rom image for the FlashROM ? The FlashROM is original FlashROM on the MotherBoard or buy bigger one ? , I'm sorry my english , I appreciate your answer ! Best regards, Dino

m758lmr+ motherboard
by James Alton 03 Nov '02

03 Nov '02

Hello, I'm using the pcchips m758lmr+ motherboard. I have browsed through the CVS code, and I see that it loads up support for the SiS630s chipset. Also, on the board though, there is a IT8705F (from ITE) which acts as a superio and thermal/voltage stats. (The IT8705F has some of the simple functionality of the board inside of it.) Is there some reason why the ITE directory does not contain code for the IT8705F although it has another ITE chip in there? I'm browsing the IT8705F specs right now it seems pretty thorough about how to control it. TODO list? - James Alton - jalton(a)olsh.cx
