treoubles building a linuxbios rom

[Alessio Sangalli]

Hi. I'm trying to configure and build a linuxbios rom to boot from IDE 
hard drive on a pcchips 810 motherboard.

I'm using kernel 2.4.20-cwlinux with the attached configuration; the 
sources are located in /usr/src/linux

I've checked out the latest freebios from sf.net; I also wrote the 
attached config file (why isn't the cgi script on the web pages 
working?). Pay attention this is my very first config file so it will be 
full of mistakes and omissions, I can't do any better by now.

when I give the following command I get the output:

# python NLBConfig.py pcchips.config ~/linuxbios/freebios/

Creating directory /root/linuxbios/build/pcchips
Will place Makefile, crt0.S, etc. in  /root/linuxbios/build/pcchips

I enter the dir and give a 'make' command:

Try adding to the config:

option CONFIG_UDELAY_TSC=1

and see if this won't correct the undefined reference to udelay.

thank you! it works now. I have a 'romimage' file which I think it's the 
one I should flash.

I'm not sure, however, about the correctness of the options there in the 
config file. Where can I read the actual documentation of the various 
options?

bye thank you

The documentation on config options is pretty sparce, mostly in the code
itself.  Look at the other config files (in
freebios/src/mainboard/.../config.example and also in
freebios/util/config/*), and of course, read the C code.  I use a find/grep
alias a lot to find config options and how they are used (alias findit='find
. | xargs grep  2>/dev/null').

We need more documentation for linuxbios; right now it is not a project
where you can just type "make" and flash a rom without digging into the code
a little (IMHO).  The best bet if you don't want to spend some time on it,
is to buy a board from cwlinux.  And, of course, if you come up to speed and
want to help out, I'm sure Ron would welcome a howto.html file.

isn't it the same "grep -r XXX ."?!

I understand. In the future, something like kernel's or lirc's config 
menus would be great.

WHy isn't the web-configuration tool working? Is it an outdated tool or 
do you only have to correctly configure cgi access?

my company had my request to buy few motherboard from cwlinux. However 
they like to write a lot of papers and to prepare budget reports for 
anything. I've already used cwlinux great ROM images, and I have a 
pcchips motherboard bought by myself in an exibition working with 
linuxbios. I'm very interested in this project and I would like to 
understand it and contribute, if possible.

Now I will dig a bit into the code and configuration samples. When I'll 
have enough knowledge I will try some experiments and I will write down 
some web pages on how to do it. Something like my other 'howto' about 
lirc ( http://www.manoweb.com/alesan/lirc ). I like good, detailed 
documentation and I hope to write something like this for my experience 
with linuxbios.

I invite everybody, if they can, to answer to the many questions I've 
written in the list. Each piece of information I can gather will find 
its way on the howto...!

bye!

Yup, this is the same (actually better).  I wasn't aware of the grep -r
switch; it is not on all unices (eg, SunOS, Unixware). I'm kind of an old
Unix person and only learn the newer ways when someone points it out.
Thanks for the tip.

Ron can answer better but I think no one has gotten around to it.

then we need to see which mainboard config is incorrect.
Sorry about this.
