OT: linux kernel problem
by Edwin Rhodes
when compiling my linux kernel i keep on recieving this message:
Warning: Clock Skew Detected Build May Be Incomplete
It seams to compile ok.
What does this error message mean?? and how can i fix it.
thanks
edwin
ps. I have only been getting this message since i upgraded to an AMD K6-2 500Mhz.

sorry to ask this again
by Ronald G. Minnich
If someone has the *code* example for calling the vga init on a vga card I
could use it.

Fixed part of it
by Ronald G. Minnich
OK, I've added simple pcibus_fixup_mem_addr code to 2.2.10, so that memory
BARs get set up correctly.
As for this discussion of interrupt mapping: a quick look at any
motherboard spec will show you how trivial the mapping of four interrupt
lines for 4 or 5 PCI slots is. There's only so many permutations you can
do, and most motherboards do them the same. There aren't that many
motherboards out there. Do the math. It's a very small table, and if we
really ever want hot swap, we'll need it anyway. So why not just do it
now?

first, in 2.2.10, it doesn't do ANY configuration of memory-addressable
BARs. Second, it doesn't do any IRQ assignment. If 2.3 fixes this then
I'll just cut over.

I think you should not do the assignment in the OS but you
can do a reconfiguration there. All are talking about Linux
but I like to use poor old DOS and WinNT 4 and other OS and
I don't linke to write a device driver for PCI configuration
for each OS.
I agree, that the OS can change the settings made by the BIOS.
I don't understand the problem. If you like you can clear all
PCI registers and set up them again in the OS, but there
should be done something for all OS that can't do the
configuration. And one other thing: When the Linux code is the
best in the world, why not put it into the BIOS?

linuxbios performance

just enabling mtrr's and then setting up one mtrr as per the VOL III
manual makes things fast. Boy, am I ever happier.

The IRQ assignment can't be done in the operating system. It depends on the
wireing on your board and therefore it is done in BIOS. You can check the
IRQ assignment with your original BIOS:
1. Select fixed ISA IRQs for PCI IRQs
e.g. PCI INTA = IRQ 9
PCI INTB = IRQ 10
PCI INTC = IRQ 11
PCI INTD = IRQ 12
2. Put PCI cards in all slots
3. Boot something and look into PCI configuration space
If for example the card in PCI Slot 1 got IRQ 11 you know now this Slot
uses PCI INTC.
Please remember to set up your chipset correctly to select with PCI IRQ use
with ISA IRQ. Then you can assign this IRQs to your PCI Slots.

Hey Jeff,
I'll be here at the ACL for a week. Below is what we get on bootup.
NOTES:
Calibrating delay loop... 4.25 BogoMIPS
Cache isn't enabled correctly, so the chip runs at ~ 1/100 its speed.
Sigh. This makes gunzipping slow.
PCI: 00:60 [9005/005f], irq 0x0
This is the SCSI controller, hence this line is repeated. Note how all
the IRQs are 0x0. Continue down the printout and note how all the mbases
are 00000000 when the cards initialize.
I am going to try to make code to assign IRQs; I don't really know where
to start; I take it PCI devices each get an IRQ of 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, or
15, and they can share? Ron says he knows how to fix the mbases problem.
Any comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated (no, I do not know
what I am doing).
