[YhLu]

There is one patch CD for Suse 9 pro for AMD DVD, Did you use it boot to
install?

主题: Re: HDAMA+FILO booting SUSE Linux

I'm still having problems installing a new disk using LinuxBIOS+FILO on
an HDAMA board with a Suse AMD64 distribution.

Although the "nomce" argument helped quite a bit moving things along, I
still can't install a new disk from the Suse 9.0 or 9.1 Pro AMD64
distributions using the serial port only with an Arima HDAMA board with
LinuxBIOS and FILO.  The only way I've gotten an bootable installation
going is to use the Phoenix BIOS to install on a drive, then use the
Suse repair function under LinuxBIOS to clean it up and then boot it.

I thought the following installation attempts might be interesting to
others.  Except for the Suse 9.1 Live CD attempts, I was attempting to
boot from CD and do a complete install of Suse 9.0 or 9.1 on the hard
drive.  If there are any obvious errors in my FILO boot arguments,
please let me know.  Some of these scenarios just might not be
reasonable things to do at this point, given the state of the
hardware/software components.  That info would be appreciated as well.
If there is a different AMD64 Linux distribution that someone has had
installation success with, that would be nice, as well.

The following scenarios were created using the sourceforge snapshot of
linuxbios from May 10, 2004, compiled for and run on an Arima HDAMA
board with FILO 0.4.1 as the payload with a Maxtor disk drive as
/dev/hda and a Hitachi DVD drive as /dev/hdc:

HDAMA+FILO booting SUSE Linux

[Craig C Forney]

YH,

I tried the patch CD for Suse 9.0 Pro.  It works the same (meaning it
doesn't work) as the boxed distribution.

Thanks,

Craig

LinuxBios now working on Epia MII-10000

[Ignacio Verona]

At least, I've linuxbios booting my kernel with filo. Now I've a few 
questions:

1. When booting, it stops about 2 o 3 secs on "Jumping to entry point". Is 
this normal? Can't I reduce this time? (My main purpouse of using LB is for 
getting as small boot time as possible for my in-car PC)

2. Can I get acpi to work on Epia? I mean, halt and power-off the system?

thanks!!

It's probably Linux' setup of internal structures just before output is
made?

The framework is there, but support for Epia is not in yet. If you have
some time, give it a try to implement this.. it would be really useful!
