Freebios2 amd/serenade keyboard init error
I have built LinuxBIOS for the amd/serenade target and I get about 600 lines of good output to the serial port, which ends with Initializing devices... PCI: 00:18.0 init PCI: 00:18.3 init NB: Function 3 Misc Control.. done. PCI: 00:19.0 init PCI: 00:19.3 init NB: Function 3 Misc Control.. done. PCI: 01:01.0 init PCI: 01:02.0 init PNP: 002e.0 init PNP: 002e.2 init PNP: 002e.5 init POST: 0x00 POST: 0x00 POST: 0x00 POST: 0x00 POST: 0x00 POST: 0x00 The last line "POST: 0x00" repeats forever. PC80/keyboard.c is trying to initialize the keyboard. The code that is running is /* empty input buffer or any other command/data will be lost */ while ((inb(0x64) & 0x02)) post_code(0); The inb(0x64) reads 0xff forever. I heard that the keyboard initialization may not be needed. How can I fix this? Thanks. Steve
you can try to comment out the "init_pc_keyboard" from superio.c Tony ----- Original Message ----- From: Stephen.Kimball@bench.com To: linuxbios@clustermatic.org Sent: Wednesday, July 28, 2004 8:27 AM Subject: Freebios2 amd/serenade keyboard init error I have built LinuxBIOS for the amd/serenade target and I get about 600 lines of good output to the serial port, which ends with Initializing devices...

As was noted earlier on this list, that keyboard controller part is "seriously fucked up" on that board. for now, turn off the keyboard, there's something wrong on that mobo we have not worked out. Second, write user-mode linux programs to try to get that stupid part to work, and see what is wrong. ron p.s. note I am back, but under really bizarre circumstances, as you can tell by the line at the end of this note. ***** DUSA LACSI-HW *****
