 Hi,

  

       Is there any version support the onboard ATI - Rage XL?

       Is there any version support a add-on ATI - Rage XL?

       Do I need to change something in the configuration file?

Please check the update S2850, and it support onboard ATI via emulator.

 

For command line? FILO,? Please refer Etherboot/src/filo/*.txt

Please get the Etherboot 5.2.6.

 

You need to use patch for 2.4.22 and only enable ati rage xl framebuffer.

 

Regards

Great, It solved the problem.

About the etherboot I try to run with 5.2.6 version as you said (enable BTEXT) and It is not working.

It stack in:  Jumping to LinuxBIOS

When I use the 5.2.5 version that you sent me before It work.

Command: Make bin/r8169.zelf

 

Now the elf image is loading and there is no respond from the VGA..

The kernel parameter is: console=tty0.

Maybe I didn't patch the kernel with the correct patch file.

Where can I get the patch of the kernel supporting ATI Ragexl?

 I am using 2.4.24 kernel version.

 

Thanks,

Sagiv

I have this definition in targets/tyan/s2850/Config.lb:

option CONFIG_CONSOLE_BTEXT=1

Not default as you wrote.

Is it ok?

 

Should I had the same thing in src/mainboard/tyan/s2850/Config.lb?

 

Sagiv.

You need to add

 

uses CONFIG_CONSOLE_BTEXT

 

default CONFIG_CONSOLE_BTEXT=1

 

dir /drivers/ati/ragexl

 

after that you can get ouput in Linuxbios after vga init.

 

You also need to enable the btext in Etherboot. You should use Etherboot 5.2.6. it includes filo and btext console.

 

About kernel, you need to use kernel patch to enable ragexl frame buffer support.

Hello,

      I am using Linux Bios on Tyan 2850. The machine is running with console.

      I add to the command line: "console=ttyS0,115200" and I have linux which runs with console.

     

How can I run with VGA? Should I add some code to the bios?

 

      The VGA driver is: ATI Rage XL.
