Hi all,
I want to use an ASUS P2B-DS dual P-III mainboard with a MD2202-D32 DoC device for LinuxBIOS. In the moment I test it with a 2.6.4 kernel. This board uses a 440bx chip set. I hot swapped the BIOS Flash chip and the DoC while the board was powered on and Linux was running. When I modprobe nftl and docprobe I get the following messages in /var/log/messages:
kernel: NFTL driver: nftlcore.c $Revision: 1.94 $, nftlmount.c $Revision: 1.34 $ kernel: Possible DiskOnChip with unknown ChipID FF found at 0xfffc8000 kernel: Possible DiskOnChip with unknown ChipID FF found at 0xfffca000
[...]
kernel: Possible DiskOnChip with unknown ChipID FF found at 0xfffec000 kernel: Possible DiskOnChip with unknown ChipID FF found at 0xfffee000 kernel: No recognized DiskOnChip devices found
No my question now is how to initialize the 440bx to get the DoC recognized.
Here is the output of lspci. Everything except the VGA controller is onboard.
