Hi,
I download a lateset snapshot from linuxBIOS.org yesterday. I don't know if it is bad luck or something, I can not successfully build any BIOS from the tree I downloaded. I tried following three platform.
 
tyan/s2891
tyan/s2895
amd/serenade
 
Does anybody has similar issue or know what happened?
 
Below are the details on the things I got for these three different target platform
 
1. Both tyan/s2891 and tyan/s2895 have similar behavior
 
I changed a few lines in Options.lb:
 
default USE_DCACHE_RAM=1
default CONFIG_USE_INIT=1
default DEFAULT_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL=7
default  MAXIMUM_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL=7
 
I get a error output like below: (Note: Changing options in the Options.lb above were not the cuase of the problem. Without changing USE_DCACHE_RAM and CONFIG_USE_INIT, I still get same results)
 
------------
gcc -m32 -nostdlib -nostartfiles -static -o linuxbios_ram -T /export/1/new/src/config/linuxbios_ram.ld linuxbios_ram.o
linuxbios_ram.o(.text+0x13db9): In function `smp_write_config_table':
: undefined reference to `get_apicid_base'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/export/1/new/targets/tyan/s2895/s2895/normal'
make: *** [normal/linuxbios.rom] Error 1
 
2. amd/serenade gets the build error like below. It probably is the side product of the tree enabled dual core and cache as RAM?

Any help would be appriciated.
 
Thanks
