Eric,
In the 1.1.6, you have move clearing memory from auto.c to k8/cpufixup.c.
Is
there any way to disable it for fast booting?
Don't enable ECC.
Memory clearing is only done for correctness. ECC memory does not work properly unless initialized.
I think the Opteron setup now is down to the minimal needed for things to work. You only observe one reset correct?
YHLU: One reset is right, but the output of the very beginning is not neat.
- AMD 8131: ioapic : PCI master mem/io enable. The segment I have added
in
old version, in 1.1.6 Eric remove that. --- It is needed for other MBs except arima --because it connects all apic to 8111.
As Ron mentioned later this needs a comment. In the general case we should not be enabling bus master DMA by default. I tend to remove bus master enables before remembering any special circumstances of the chip.
YHLU: but the code in amd8131_bridge.c and not in general code. (devices dir)
- Some correction in AMD8151.
- Add superio/Winbond/w83627hf.
Thanks that looks correct. And it was nice to see my changes were that simple to follow.
- other changs in tyan dir. (auto.c failover.c cmos.layout from arima
dir)
(Config.lb changes for option_table.h building and superio ...) (Increase the heap size to make elfboot work).
Hmm. Can we throw in a sanity check to ensure we don't run out of heap? I assume that is what was happening.
Does the 4-way s4880 work? I'm not quite certain how my changes would affect it.
YHLU: I will double check that, it not, need to increade the heap size again.
