Hello, I almost have the system I have been woring on for so long now running on the console (vga is next). Here is a recap of my hardware:
i82830 Northbridge i82801db Southbridge (using i82801XX) SMSC lpc47m192 Superio (using smscsuperio)
For some reason it keeps restarting over and over again right after the "SMBus controller enabled" message (see below). Any ideas what could be causing this?
Also, since I have something happening (console output) and I am diffinatly going to see this through can I submit the RCA RM4100 and i82830 code as a "WIP".
Thanks - Joe ------------------------------------------------------------------

Great news!
For some reason it keeps restarting over and over again right after the "SMBus controller enabled" message (see below). Any ideas what could be causing this?
Check that there isn't a GPIO (usually GP3) that's set to reboot the system automatically when the timer runs up. If there is, it needs to be disabled prior to ram init. Also, have you run ram_check to make sure that your ram is initializing correctly?

In my Config.lb I have: device pnp 2e.7 off end # GAME_MIDI_GIPO1 device pnp 2e.8 off end # GPIO2 device pnp 2e.9 off end # GPIO3 device pnp 2e.a off end # ACPI
They seem to be off is that what you mean?
Ok, I ran it with: /* Check RAM. */ ram_check(0, 640 * 1024);
What does this "Fail" mean? How do I fix this? Does this have anything to do with the fact that the memory (128MB) is embedded into the board (shows on original bios in slot 01) and does not have SPD?

Hello, I almost have the system I have been woring on for so long now running on the console (vga is next). Here is a recap of my hardware:

Great news!
For some reason it keeps restarting over and over again right after the "SMBus controller enabled" message (see below). Any ideas what could be causing this?
Check that there isn't a GPIO (usually GP3) that's set to reboot the system automatically when the timer runs up. If there is, it needs to be disabled prior to ram init. Also, have you run ram_check to make sure that your ram is initializing correctly?
-Corey
In my Config.lb I have: device pnp 2e.7 off end # GAME_MIDI_GIPO1 device pnp 2e.8 off end # GPIO2 device pnp 2e.9 off end # GPIO3 device pnp 2e.a off end # ACPI
They seem to be off is that what you mean?
Those only affect LB after the ram has been initialized. You'd have to manually disable it in pre-ram if that were the problem, but I think it's much more likely the below. I've only seen GPIO resets on Via hardware, so you're probably safe.
Ok, I ran it with: /* Check RAM. */ ram_check(0, 640 * 1024);
What does this "Fail" mean? How do I fix this? Does this have anything to do with the fact that the memory (128MB) is embedded into the board (shows on original bios in slot 01) and does not have SPD?
No, this means that your ram isn't being initialized correctly somewhere. Start by checking that your northbridge timing registers are set correctly, drbs set correctly, etc. As long as the init itself follows the same procedure as the 440bx and 810, that should be correct. Comparing lspci -xxx -s 0:0.0 and dump_dev(0) (from debug.c) might also provide some help.

The only thing about lspci -xxx -s 0:0.0 is you can't see all of the 16bit and 32bit registers. Is there another way in linux to dump 0:0.0 so you can see all of the values?
Thanks - Joe

You need to be root and try again.

I think I figured it out. It was the GCC1-?GMCH Control Register #1. This is the register where you indicate the memory pre-allocated for the frame buffer for IGD (Internel Graphics Display). Plus, this is a 16 bit register and the upper 15:7 bits are reserved. The memory space LinuxBIOS gets copied to must have been conflicting with this?? I will have to set it up so it just sets the lower 6:0 bits. Anyways, I am now so close I can taste it:-)

OK, I got the GCC1 register problem resolved, and I thought it was going to boot but now I hit another snag. It just freezes at this point, any ideas?? I have attach my bootlog so you can see all the messages (only 27k).

Can someone please take a look at this? It is driving me crazy I don't know what is wrong?
