Hello all,
I'm typing this message in Thunderbird from LinuxBIOS booted system. Yeah I told this last time, but I have still some issues left.
1) Single channel memory problems
I have two 512MB dimms in singe channel, because LinuxBIOS does not handle dualchannel for unbuffered Dimms. However when I'm using 512-1024MB of the RAM systems forces to random reboot when booting kernel or when in X. Booting with mem=512MB works like a charm
2) Reboot does not work. I dont know what I have wrong, but my fallback image just produces the initial string when console is initialized and nothing more. I have no clue what is wrong. I dont know what failover and fallback is precisely...
3) DMA to 0xE0000-0xEFFFF fails This is under investigation. I asked VIA about this.
4) no HPET and no ACPI, no PCI MCONFIG yet
5) I have some issues with LB itself when preparing various init files. The resource system have some serious trouble if I add my file for the PCIe bridge init. If I call the function not from init or enable methods but from general init and via pci_find_device, everything will work again. This seems like some issue with the infrastructure of LB rather than HW problem.
I may write more about my issues if only someone is willing to help ;) I can put my code online somewhere. Maybe it would be good to check it in even if the code for NB is a bit of mess.
USB/sound/SATA/IDE/PCIe/Network/Serial/Graphics/APIC works do far...
Thanks,
Rudolf
