modprobe ich2rom
by Ronald G Minnich 05 Sep '02

05 Sep '02

I'm trying to figure out how to correctly set up the e7500 MTD. This includes the ICH 2 support (fixes from Eric) and the 82802ab part which is not compatible with anything but an 82802ab :=) I have MTD debugging enabled and set to level 3. 2 weird things: 1, I never get any debug output and 2, if I modprobe --node 18 ich2rom (i.e. use bproc and a slave node to insmode the ich2rom module and other things it needs). I do this kind of modprobe all the time, with DoC and other modules, so it is hard for me to believe it is a bproc issue, but you never know. The result is this: Segmentation fault And that's it. What's really weird: no dmesg output! Any hints? ron

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
