Subject: RE: EPIA-M "Magic Potion"?
Ron, Dimitry,
Not to get too far ahead of myself here, but it seems CVS is probably not completely broken. I am booting into LinuxBIOS fine, just there is no PCI Bus #1 and no IRQ's are assigned to anything.
The reason VGA is not initializing is because for some reason LinuxBIOS is not seeing PCI Bus #1 and thus can't locate an 0x0300 VGA class PCI device when it goes to init the VGA BIOS; otherwise, I think it would probably work fine. The IRQ problem is a more serious issue...
Since memory detection is waiting on the v2 port and we have the flash problem at least identified, I'm going to poke at this VGA/PCI/IRQ thing some more and see what I can see...
Any ideas?
John
Guys, Here is the patch to make EPIA-M work with splash and VGA. See attached config for my settings...
Ron, FYI: I did some changes in hardwaremain.c to make sure splash is called after VGA init and early enough to see the splash. It may brake some other builds, unlikely though...
Enjoy, Dmitry/
