[LinuxBIOS] I just closed issue 28

[Ronald G Minnich]

patch 04 was superseded by patch 6, but in any event, none of the 
patches took (they were assumed to be -r). Also, the other epia-m item 
(29) is in the tree, so I closed that.


please, folks, if you are resolving these issues, set the status to 
resolved and sign it off in comments.

Here is the rough path for using this tracker (we're still waiting on 
the doc)

login to the issue tracker.
create the issue
describe the problem
upload the file (x.diff)
assign to somebody.

somebody else should close the issue, so:
- get somebody to review.
- annoy us if we don't.


to close
- if it is global impact, scan carefully. take your time
- if it is only one mobo, one person, the person who sent the diff,
    scan carefully but try to get it done soon.
- apply the diff, if it succeeds
	commit and mark the issue resolved, with 'signed-off-by' in the remarks

- if it fails
	mark it deferred and notify the submitter


I am going to try nick barker's patch. It seems somebody is applying 
these and not following up?

I grabbed that patch from the mailing list without checking. It might
have been applied already before the issue tracker existed. not sure.

it had not been applied. It is now applied.

Will epia-m folks please try this out?

thanks

The patches in issue 28 were applied before the issue tracker was in use
I believe (I applied them, after posting them to the list for comments).
I added a comment to issue 28 saying as much and that Nick's work built
on them on 2005-11-13.12:57:49

I haven't tried svn today, but I've been running LB SVN 2083 + Nick's
patch and it appears to work fine (though I'm not using the VGA support
as I don't need it).

thanks for the feedback, if you can, please do an svn update and let me 
know.

I'll try to do same today for sc 520

SVN r2102 works fine for me on EPIA-M without VGA.

I've tried to use the VGA BIOS from the 1.16 BIOS (I0100116.bin, the
latest on Via's website), with no joy.

My 64K image had md5sum:

9c191ed37f60ed1b87f00a3203b56d1c  vgabios.bin                                   

And my serial output around the VGA init is:

CPU #0 Initialized
write_protect_vgabios
biosint: Oops, exception 13
BIOSINT: Unsupport int #0x10
Devices initialized
Copying IRQ routing tables to 0xf0000...done.

This isn't critical for me, but VGA support would be nice to have if
anyone who has it working has any suggestions. Are those who have it
working using EPIA M or M-II boards?

Sorry, perhaps I should have been clearer. Are the reports of success
with VGA from those using EPIA M-II boards? Has anyone succeeded with
the EPIA-M board?

If the EPIA-M, what BIOS version did you extract the VGA bios from and
what's the md5sum?

Having had further conversation with Anton offlist it appears that the
key to success is to use the 1.1.13 BIOS rather than the 1.1.16 version.
With 1.1.13 VGA works fine for me on a 1GHz EPIA-M board.

I couldn't find the 1.1.13 BIOS linked on Via's site, but it can still
be downloaded at:
