P6STMT

[Adam Sulmicki]

hello,
    does anyone here runs P6STMT mbo by EliteGroup?

Here are some sample urls to the MBO:

The "WinFast 6300" config file seems to work with it,
    but I was wondering if perhaps there's some better
    config file.

I already have one system running with Linuxbios, I'm now looking to build a
second but I don't seam to be able so find a suitable motherboard at any of
my usual suppliers, does any one have any sugestions.

Thanks
  Russell

You could try this: 
http://www.acl.lanl.gov/linuxbios/developer/portguides/M810LR/index.html

My usual supplier is showing stocks of the M810-LMRT.

Ok, I have setup its own configuration for it, with its own PIRQ table.

Now there's one more issue remaining. At the present time I have to boot
from the PC BIOS classic, and then *warm* boot into the LinuxBIOS. If I do
not do that the system will hard hang in few minutes after boot. It will
be either during fsck (if there's one), or somewhere at Linux command
prompt.

any ideas?

How I would go about settting dll.inc ? What's the way to get those
values?

It is used to configure the Delay Lock Loop in the DRAM controller. The
value depends on chipset and PCB layout.

Could it be responsible for the hangs few minutes after linux finish
booting, or is it more likely the FSB clock, or something else?

So is there some way to determine DLL given that it is SIS630 chiset
and memory slots are about 1.25-1.5 times as far as they were in the
WinFast motherboard from which DLL values I'm using now?

Is there some other alternative like read some registers, or setup some
hardware breakpoint?
