Hi all

I have a HT nic (this is a new card) and i want the bios to support it
what should i change in the code && configuration . I have a
Iwill/dk8_htx  board.

The htx support is in the tree.

Just try it and let me know the status.

I have tested one HTX card with it.

Hi

I read somewhere that I need to configure on what ht link the card is .
I tried to boot with the card and the bios didn't do no init for it ( on
the iwill bios the card boots well ).

Thanks

So LinuxBIOS has problem with your card on the MB?

Boot Log?

One thing to remember is that the HTX card most BIOSes used for
bringup is InfiniPath, and we are a tunnel, where the link going to
the CPU for our HTX card just happens to be link 1 due to some
oddnesses in pinout of our chip (oops).

You can properly query for this, but I don't know if the existing
LinuxBIOS code does that.

You might also want to look at the new HTX BIOS Guide put out by the
HyperTransport consortium. In theory it has this suggestion and some
other good ones.
