Fwd: RE: mainboard status

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: RE: mainboard status Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2002 16:11:32 -0400 From: "Todd E. Johnson" <tejohnson(a)yahoo.com> Wow, This sounds really cool. One quick question though... What about boards that are "Generic" in terms of labels, where you have board name A, and board name B, when they are in fact the same board? Would there be any benefit to a field called "OtherNames"? Or similar? Regards, Todd E.

[ANNOUNCE] mkelfImage-1.17
by Eric W Biederman 17 Oct '02

The differences in 2.5.42 weren't as bad as they looked at first glance. I just had to add some extra descriptors into the gdt. mkelfImage-1.17 is now released. You can find it at: ftp://ftp.lnxi.com/pub/src/mkelfImage/mkelfImage-1.17.tar.gz Eric

Heads up 2.5.42 does not work with mkelfImage
by ebiederman＠lnxi.com 16 Oct '02

I just did a quick check and the kernels 32bit entry point has changed again. In particular the segment numbers that are used are different. I am going to see what I can do but this could be a serious problem. Eric

openBIOS and freeBIOS relative to linuxBIOS
by David Barr 16 Oct '02

16 Oct '02

Are they dead? After I finished reading through the last three months of mail here, I headed out to a few similar projects to keep digging. Only thing is, the last real post-y type stuff I can find is July '02. Is LinuxBIOS the only one still going? Anyone here have a hand / foot / appendage in any of those other type projects?

Linuxbios for AMD SC520
by Andrew Dennison 16 Oct '02

16 Oct '02

Has anyone setup linuxbios for the AMD SC520 (an AMD 486 microcontroller)? I'm looking into doing this for the AMD "CDP" evaluation board and just wanted to check I wasn't re-inventing the wheel... Regards, Andrew

R&D Project
by Justin C. Darby 15 Oct '02

15 Oct '02

I'm trying to get together funding for a research project at my company to build a generic platform for high availability devices using Linux, LinuxBIOS, etc, as the software portion. I had some general questions about LinuxBIOS I wanted to ask while I'm still collecting information to report in my project plan. a) I have a requirement of a 4+ PCI slots, compact flash booting via IDE, and a serial console. Video, sound, etc, are pointless for any project we will take on. Onboard network ports are nice. What hardware works best? I don't care about AMD vs. Intel, I want to know what (hopefully easily available) motherboards are best served by LinuxBIOS in general. If this is going to start a flame war, I don't mind personal responses to this question. :) b) Are there any known problems running any types of PCI cards? High speed serial, ethernet, whatever, or if it works with Linux, it should work just fine? c) Can Disk-on-Chip BIOS solutions be reflashed several times? I would like these machines to be remotely upgradeable in all aspects while having a local device to boot from. d) Are any SMP motherboards supported? Thanks for your time, Justin C. Darby
