The static device tree of the Tyan S1846 was, um... totally bogus.
I'm using the ide0_enble/ide1_enable variables now to enable IDE. Hm, what happens if those variables are not set at all in a Confib.lb file of some mainboard? Do they default to zero?
I've applied both, this patch, and the 82371 patch.
- I get a random error when in filo/grub menu.lst after pressing "p"
for password to manually edit my options while in grub. A quick typed, not exact copy of the error --> "Attempt to free non-allocated memory: 00000006".
Would that be the 640k-768k memory range? I honestly have no clue, but it seems to make sense...
- /dev/sda2 seems to be easily recognized now. (I'm guessing this is
the device tree fix?)
Are you complaining? ;) Yeah, this is probably due to the device tree fixes. If I were you though, I'd grab a spare IDE drive and try to get that working first, before trying with add-on cards.
- I now get a long hang at "Loading kernel". I then get a very very,
if not sometimes permanent hang after "Jumping to Entry Point" is printed to tty. Sometimes the kernel loads at this point, sometimes it never seems to. (82371 patch?)
I'm getting the same thing on the i810 (but it's progress for me!). I figured it was just because filo was only doing byte reads, or is filo not in charge any more at this point? Anyways, need to dig up Peter's patch...
