I have a cs5530 chip that drives IDE.. and southbridge/nsc/cs5530/southbridge.c is used to enable the IDE. isn't this the same as rr2? what patch were you referring to when you told me I needed a patch to read C/H/S values correctly?

nonsense C/H/S values for CF (used in ide)
by Q-ha Park 03 Oct '02

03 Oct '02

I have a board with gx1, pc97317 and cs5530a with one ide slot. I've been booting linux with Phoenix bios so far with no problems, and I tried linuxBIOS to boot linux. but I noticed strange C/H/S values like "init_drive sectors_per_track=[768], num_heads=[768], num_cylinders=[768]". and it failed to boot. does anyone have similar problems like this? Phoenix bios sees the device and read the values correctly... thanks, Q

MD-2800-D08 ???

Hi all, I purchased what I believed to be 2 DOC Millennium chips from Tri-M, but the part number is: MD-2800-D08 Is this right?!? Because this is the `dmesg` output when I try to burn the ROM: Possible DiskOnChip with unknown ChipID 00 found at 0xc8000 Possible DiskOnChip with unknown ChipID 35 found at 0xca000 Possible DiskOnChip with unknown ChipID FF found at 0xcc000 Possible DiskOnChip with unknown ChipID FF found at 0xce000 Possible DiskOnChip with unknown ChipID FF found at 0xd0000 Possible DiskOnChip with unknown ChipID FF found at 0xd2000 Possible DiskOnChip with unknown ChipID FF found at 0xd4000 Possible DiskOnChip with unknown ChipID FF found at 0xd6000 Possible DiskOnChip with unknown ChipID F6 found at 0xd8000 Possible DiskOnChip with unknown ChipID E8 found at 0xda000 Possible DiskOnChip with unknown ChipID 97 found at 0xdc000 Possible DiskOnChip with unknown ChipID 63 found at 0xde000 Possible DiskOnChip with unknown ChipID 00 found at 0xe0000 Possible DiskOnChip with unknown ChipID 00 found at 0xe2000 Possible DiskOnChip with unknown ChipID 00 found at 0xe4000 Possible DiskOnChip with unknown ChipID 00 found at 0xe6000 Possible DiskOnChip with unknown ChipID 00 found at 0xe8000 Possible DiskOnChip with unknown ChipID 00 found at 0xea000 Possible DiskOnChip with unknown ChipID 00 found at 0xec000 Possible DiskOnChip with unknown ChipID 00 found at 0xee000 No recognised DiskOnChip devices found root@grandamp:/usr/local/src/linuxbios/buildrom/m758lmr+# Regards, Todd E.

athlon board choice
by David Thomas 03 Oct '02

03 Oct '02

I've been researching a board for cluster computing. This is my wishlist 1. Dual Athlon 2. At least 2GB RAM capactity. DDR or other high-speed is critical. 3. midrange -- not dell or ibm for cost reasons 4. Integrated video and 10/100 NIC, dual NIC a plus, SCSI not necessary 5. 1U or 2U ATX form factor 6. Lots of hardware monitoring. ASIC/IPMI a must. 7. (of course) will run LinuxBIOS I've tetatively settled on a Tyan Thunder K7 S2462 and I've had reasonable experiences with the vendor in the past. For bios it says it's got a 4MB flash chip and supports DMI 2.0. I'm new to LinuxBIOS so comments are appreciated. There's a page at : http://www.tyan.com/products/html/thunderk7.html and manual at ftp://ftp.tyan.com/manuals/thunder/m_s2462_100.pdf Thx Dave

RE: Images and ZIF DIP

Hi Ollie, Why do you think I wanted to gauge how fast it would boot ;) ? Isn't research fun? Actually Hui-Fen helped me out with the SiS 900 NIC driver for a BioStar M5SAF. It was some issue with the PHY. It worked great, but alas, it is time to upgrade! Most people would perhaps consider me insane... See what working for the Government can do to a guy? This is a hobby to keep me sane... If you find it interesting, you may want to check out http://www.dashpc.com/ Regards, Todd E.

Images and ZIF DIP
by Todd E. Johnson 02 Oct '02

02 Oct '02

Hello, I found a ZIF Socket (that works form me when I remove the WOL header) at Digikey for $13.33. It is part number A443-ND (CONN IC SOCKET ZIF 32POS TIN). Here are a few quick pics of it on a PCChips M758LMR+ with the WOL header removed. http://www.groomlakelabs.com/grandamp/pictures/linuxbios/m758lmr.jpg http://www.groomlakelabs.com/grandamp/pictures/linuxbios/closeup.jpg Each image size is between 200 & 300k Regards, Todd E.

Hi all, Is the config file generator on the linuxbios web site going to be updated with the latest working boards? At this moment, it doesn't seem to be working... Thanks in advance for your time! Regards, Todd E. Johnson tejohnson(a)yahoo.com

RE: No IRQ Known for interrupt pin A of device 02:04.0. Please try using pci=biosirq
by David Xiong 01 Oct '02

01 Oct '02

The mainboard is K7SEM and irq_tables.c is already in the source tree. I run the program getpir and get an irq_tables.c file which is the same as the one in the source tree. The program util/getpir reports 6 slot found, whether I plug in the multimedia card or not, and produce exact the same irq_tables.c. And the option HAVE_PIRQ_TABLE=1 is set in the config file of the source tree. I traced into the kernel source and found that the original BIOS set IRQ when POST, but linuxbios does not do so. The IRQ is 0 when start up with linuxbios. When the driver of the multimedia card comes up, it find the card has not an IRQ. Then the driver try to get one from the irq_table, but the PCI device is not in the irq_table, so it can not find one or assign one to the device. What else can I do? Can I hard code one irq to the card? Thanks!

If this is a new board I need all the info so I can put it in the source tree. ron

Kernel patches for VIA Eden chipsets.
by CMZ 30 Sep '02

Hi, what's the kernel patches that I can use for Via chipsets? /src/kernel_patches are mostly SiS based, and does actual SDR initialization works for DDR too? Thanks! CM.
