Good News!! LinuxBIOS Boots with SiS 630 Internal VGA ON !!
by Ollie Lho 12 Jul '00

12 Jul '00

Dear all, We have reach the milestone that we can now turn on the SiS 630 internal VGA under the LinuxBIOS enviroment. At this point, traditional BIOS can be totally replaced with LinuxBIOS on SiS 630. Thanks a lot to our VGA department for their SiS Frame Buffer Device support. Ronald, Jeff, The patch and romimage will be sent to you via another mail with the detail description of how to do it on your side and other (performance) issue we need to address from now on.

Re: [OpenBIOS] what's a k7v

For everyone out there, next time you send a query about your mainboard, attach an 'lspci'. we will be looking at k7v in a few weeks. ron - To unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo(a)freiburg.linux.de with 'unsubscribe openbios' in the body of the message

BINGO!
by James V Hendricks 06 Jul '00

Procedure: 1) Load Intel L440GX Standard BIOS 2) Switch the BIOS recovery jumper on (while system is running) 3) Get to the LILO prompt and reboot processor 0 (leave proc 1 running!) 4) Load LinuxBIOS SMP kernel 5) Switch the BIOS recovery jumper off (while system is running) 6) Reboot processor 1 7) Get Linux to 0010:00100000 and set BX to 0x0 (workaround -- this should be in LinuxBIOS). 8) Run hit F5 and look at the (framebuffer's) penguins!!! (For the ACL guys, check out the VA slate on my workbench.) Ron: We are good to go!! It is pretty obvious to me that processor 2 needs to run the MTRR init code; how do you want to do this? Perhaps an #ifdef LINUXBIOS in the kernel, or do you want to do a startup IPI? {Free,Open}BIOS lists: Does anyone know why we have to set BX to 0x0? Does anyone know why we get 'unexpected IRQ trap at vector 31.' when we calibrate the delay loops (on both processors)?

I just took the romimage for linuxbios and plugged it into the winfast 6300 board. This is the identical image to the one that works for the procomm bst1b. It works! we now have two sis630 mainboards up (but with no L2 ... :-( ) ron - To unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo(a)freiburg.linux.de with 'unsubscribe openbios' in the body of the message
