Hi,
PLEASE IGNORE THE ATTACHMENT !!
I trying to bring up my System with LinuxBIOS.My machine configuration is as follow: MainBoard: vc15. NorthBridge: Intel 845 MCH Southbridge: INtel 82801BA SuperIO: SMSC LPC47M192.
I have modified the linuxBIOS to support these component as per their specification. I build the Image also.
When started the system with the new image, I am getting following lines only through serial output:
Welcome to minicom 2.00.0
OPTIONS: History Buffer, F-key Macros, Search History Buffer, I18n Compiled on Feb 26 2002, 09:38:06.

LinuxBIOS-1.0.0 Sat Oct 26 14:32:26 IST 2002 starting...
LinuxBIOS-1.0.0 Sat Oct 26 14:32:26 IST 2002 starting...
After that nothing is happening. Can any one help me in proceeding further.
Thanks, Siva.s

I am getting only the Linux BIOS banner message with LinuxBIOS image. I found that the banner message is coming from the crt0.s file, which takes the time stamp of the LinuxBIOS image and prints the LinuxBIOS startup message.
I am not getting any printk_info from linuxbiosmain function.
I did following steps to build the LinuxBIOS Image:
$python2.1 /vobs/elinux/LinuxBIOS/freebios/util/config/NLBConfig.py ./fi c.config /vobs/elinux/LinuxBIOS/freebios
$cd fic
$make
After make, I got following image file, which I burn on the flash ROM chip. While rebooting the system, I got following messages through serial output:
LinuxBIOS-1.0.0 Sat Oct 26 14:32:26 IST 2002 starting...
LinuxBIOS-1.0.0 Sat Oct 26 14:32:26 IST 2002 starting...
sh-2.04$ ls -l linuxbios.strip -rwxrwxr-x 1 siva users 65536 Oct 26 13:56 linuxbios.strip*
Can any one help me in resolving the issue?
Thanks, Siva.s

I have no reason to believe that 845 support works. SO that is probably a problem.
You are going to have to debug this.

Actually I have ported the code of the northbridge to support 845 as per it's specification.
Can you send me the sample intial output that I need to expect through serial output, while booting the system with LinuxBIOS. That might help me in debugging further.
Thanks, Siva

It depends some on how verbose your debug messages are:
From the p4dpr-igm:
You shouldn't have the double start of LinuxBIOS, that exists to work around bugs in the board.
The above is definitely generic code and should be present.
And I would expect the check points in the generic ram setup to be useful.
