SMP Bootup

Here is what I get on SMP bootup.. It goes into an infinite loop at the end. I generated the default MP tables on my own. Any suggestions? - James Linux version 2.4.0-test1 (jimi@yellow) (gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)) #41 SMP Fri Jun 16 11:38:58 MDT 2000.

Where can I find information about the status of the project? I looked at the website, but I didn't see much there. Specifically, how far along is handling of FCODE? Thanks, Neil

Any suggestions on SMP bootup would be appreciated; I think I can get it, but.. I believe I just have to setup arch/i386/smp.c correctly to go without a BIOS. - James - To unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo(a)freiburg.linux.de with 'unsubscribe openbios' in the body of the message

Yea, You did a GREAT job, Ronald
by Ollie Lho 13 Jun '00

Ron, Today we can enter multiuser mode for the first time, thanks to your new kernel patch. The system boots so fast and works as fine as in the traditional BIOS way. One question, how is your current implementation to pass kernel parameter and PCI configuration ?? what are you plan to do to support any kernel without patch ? BTW, I am going to resume doing the devbios driver, hope we can flash the image without the programmer in the near furure. P.S. I will send you the romimage that works on our board.

Current Status in SiS Side
by Ollie Lho 12 Jun '00

12 Jun '00

Ron, We can use matroxfb to boot linuxbios on SiS 630 to the point of patittion check. For cold boot, the kernel panic about unable to mount root file system. For warm reboot, the kernel Oops. Why ?? Does this exist on you side ?? I also tried to update the kernel, but it seems that the patch in CVS only works on 2.3.99pre5. Even 2.3.99pre6 fail to turn on the monitor, what's wrong ?

SMP Bootup

> All the code I've seen requires that you build either an ACPI table or > an Intel MP 1.x table. I'll assume you meant APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller) instead of ACPI. (Isn't that Advanced Computer Power Interface?) Or is ACPI something different? (too many acronyms) Looks like I have to build both APIC and Intel MP tables; I am not too excited about that. I guess I'll just printk() everything and hardwire everything in to start with. I don't even think I need to store the information where the bios would; I just need to assign variables. I have no idea how we are going to do autodetection.. I am working with kernel 2.4.0-test1; the only file I believe I need to edit is mpparse.c. Does this sound right to everybody? - James - To unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo(a)freiburg.linux.de with 'unsubscribe openbios' in the body of the message

[OT] modification of libraries
by Janusz Mlodzianowski 11 Jun '00

Hi, Sorry this is slightly off topic. I need to modify standard Turbo C run time libraries made by tlib (cx.lib). All what I need is a change of standard segment names e.g CODE->MY_CODE and TEXT->MY_TEXT. Are there any free tools available? Alternatively, where can I find the information about internal format for Borland lib files? Thanks for any suggestions, janusz - To unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo(a)freiburg.linux.de with 'unsubscribe openbios' in the body of the message
