Regarding DOC for LinuxBios.
by SIVAKUMAR SUBRAMANI 05 Sep '02

05 Sep '02

Hi, I am trying to bring up my machine with LinuxBIOS. In my machine, I have only 256 Kbytes of FLASH MEMORY for BIOS. But while reading the documents I found that we need have more than one MB (i.e., to have LinuxBIOS image file, Kernel image with patches). Do I need to have Disk on Chip of size more than 2MB in my system to have the Linuxbios working? Am I right in my conclusion? Thanks, Siva.s /------------------------------------------------/ SivaKumar.Subramani Wipro Technology, Plot No 72, Keonics Electrinic City, Hosur Main Road, Bangalore - 561229.

Availability of DoC devices ?
by Antony Stone 04 Sep '02

04 Sep '02

Hi. I've just joined the mailing list (and not long ago found out about LinuxBios at all). Great project. Can anyone advise me where to get hold of the Millennium DoC devices to create a LinuxBios boot chip ? I can't find anything in the FAQ or the mailing list archive (which seems surprisingly new - I thought the project had been going for quite some time ?), so I hope it's not a dumb question. My preference for where to get the devices would be: 1. UK 2. EU 3. US 3. RoW Can anyone help ?

Boot a PC104 from Sandisk Compact Flash
by Michael Marriott 04 Sep '02

04 Sep '02

I am trying to get my PC104 to boot from 256 SanDisk Compact Flash Card. I have a 7GB HDD connected loaded with Redhat 7.2. I can boot from the HDD and CDROM. The HDD is /dev/hd0 the CF is /dev/hd1 I tried to build a Linux file system on the CF by mounting it at /mnt/CF and transferring all the appropriate files and directories. I guesse that's OK... I am using GRUB to choose between HDD or CF boot. I copied /boot/grub/grub.conf to /mnt/cf/boot/grub and edited appropriately Currently the PC104 boots from flash (/dev/hdc1) (but the GRUB choices only come up if the HDD is connected). The crash comes when init tries to mount /hdc1. I don't know why the system mounts / on /dev/hda4 when this is not what I setup in /etc/fstab My current thinking is that I cannot simply copy initrd to my new "root file system" because this has information in it about where to find the root file system. Is this correct? Can anyone shed some light on what I am doing wrong?? Michael Marriott

Hello, I could not find an email address or other method of contacting you so I am attemting to do so through this mailing list. My name is Eric and I own www.bioscentral.com. I noticed you had some mailing list issues and would like to know if you would like to have some forums made up for your use. As it is, I have forums for users to post questions to for some help with their BIOS issues. Although the site tailored to present BIOS's, i.e., AMI, Phoenix, Award, etc.. I can easily add forums for your use. Whatever you would want. If your interested in it, just let me know. Bios Central is a free site. The advertising on the pages is free as well. I make no money from any aspect of the site. I'm not sure if this would be a problem, but the entire site is free for anyone to use. I ask for no money or any other type of compensation. I'm just trying to lend a hand in your development of the LinuxBIOS. Bios Central is going on three years now. The original forums were pulled and these were installed in place of them. The original server that the site was located on did an upgrade that effectively torched the forums. Lost over 5000 messages as a result. It's current home in with a very reliable company that has excellent tech support. Great bunch of people. Anyway, it's been rock stable since moving last March. Not one issue. Feel free to contact me at postcode(a)*NOSPAM*bioscentral.com is you have any questions. I'm not sure if I'll recieve a reply through this mailing list as this is my first mailing list I've subscribed to. Eric www.bioscentral.com
