Re: [LinuxBIOS] Etherboot (FILO) with SATA on tyan s2895

[Lu, Yinghai]

You can not boot from CK804 sata directly with FILO in Etherboot.

The code only support Sata that can work on compatible IDE mode.

You need to use other media ( network, CF IDE flash) to load kernel with
ck804 sata and kexec support, and use kexec to load final kernel in your
sata disk.

Subject: [LinuxBIOS] Etherboot (FILO) with SATA on tyan s2895

I am booting linuxbios with etherboot and filo as the payload. I tried
to
follow the s2881 tutorial on the wiki.

Etherboot only finds my cd-rom. When I try to use hde:/ it tells me that
"Drive 4 does not exist". All drives up to j except hda (my cd-rom) give
the
same error message. Sometimes if I try hdg it hangs.

I saw README.filo_in_etherboot where it says it only works on SATA port
1 or
2. I've tried on SATA 0 port 0 and 1, SATA 1 port 2 and 3.

I also seem to need to boot the factory BIOS in between each attempt, or
I
won't get very far.

Is there something simple I've missed?

Thanks,
Myles

[LinuxBIOS] Etherboot (FILO) with SATA on tyan s2895

[Myles Watson]

It's starting to seem like a long chain of events from LinuxBIOS to
Etherboot to FILO to kernel on CF to myKernel.  I'd also like to be able to
get to grub eventually.  Is there a way to go from LinuxBIOS to grub more
directly on the s2895?

Thanks again for your help.

Check out the real FILO (non-Etherboot version) - it features grub menu
support.

[LinuxBIOS] Etherboot (FILO) with SATA on tyan s2895

[Myles Watson]

I decided to just add an IDE drive to boot the first kernel.  Until I had
LinuxBIOS booting, I felt like the 512KB that the BIOS Savior gave me was
too little to play with for adding tiny Linux. After I can reliably boot
from the 512KB "backup" I'll think about writing over my original 1 MB :)

When I boot from LinuxBIOS to the IDE drive it doesn't recognize my SATA
drives, even though sata_nv gets loaded. They get mounted normally when I
boot from the same drive with the factory BIOS.  Any ideas or hints?

Thanks,
Myles

It seems some old version sata disk has problem. Can you try some new sata disk?
