Anyone tried LinuxBIOS with freeBSD?

I talked to freebsd guys about it. Freebsd makes BIOS calls, so that would need to be fixed.

That or see if it works with ADLO.
Since it's FreeBSD vs Win, it should be easier to make ADLO work if it doesn't work right out of the box.

where is the ADLO latest code and doc?

That info is all from my V1 stuff and ADLO is not in V2 yet. However its just a elf payload just like anything else so it will load fine. It won't run until you get the shadowing right.
I don't remember what the final result of our V2 shadowing discussion was. I seem to remember that we thought we could do an elf location trick that might make the mainboard specific shadowing in ADLO unnecessary.

Right. We should simply need to enable the shadow memory in V2. ADLO can take it from there. We can reexamine if we ever find memory that has a problem being read-write.
It is weird that ADLO loads in one place and runs in another but that is largely a non-issue. We need the a loader that runs in protected mode. So whatever I was thinking with ELF tricks is something we can ignore.

So need to make shadowing work in V2 before make ADLO working...?
which region?

0xf0000 - 0xfffff and 0xc0000- 0xcffff. Look at util/ADLO/loader.s That shows you the ranges.

In general simply making 0xc0000 - 0xfffff memory is a good target and I think v2 does that by default.

What is the current assesment of linuxbios support with ASUS motherboards? I'm looking specifically at the K8V-X, but I'm curious about support for ASUS boards in general. The K8V-X uses the VIA K8T800 chipset, which seems to be fairly common. Is anyone working on this? Is ASUS amiable to linuxbios? What's the word on the street?

Not really. A lot of the ASUS boards worked with so far have special things done to the SMbus and thus the SPD can't be read with knowing what bits in the northbridge to tweak.
I was talking to ASUS at one point but the conversation faltered. I can try again. Pick a mobo you really want to see it done for.

I would like the: Asus K8N-E Delux Please I have a lan cafe with 40 of these machines in it, would be nice to be running linuxbios in them so I can run a cluster after hours ;D (That is if they could still boot windows 2000)

depends if you can get enough Info about MB and chipset.
Anyway SB is easier than NB....
