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)?

Last saturday night. (too late at night...) I attempted to write the latest bios immage to my K7V. The flash failed. I paniced. $25 and a whole 9 days later I finally got a good bios just a few hours ago. =((((((((((((((( I need an external EEPROM programmer. =\ Anyone need a spare BIOS chip? -- Brigands clobber alies. http://users.erols.com/alangrimes/ - To unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@freiburg.linux.de with 'unsubscribe openbios' in the body of the message
what's a k7v? Check out the scyld computing web page, evidently they know how to reprogram flash by using the network cards. Quite cool. ron - To unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@freiburg.linux.de with 'unsubscribe openbios' in the body of the message

no, I know it's a motherboard. What I meant was: what chipset, etc. does it have? how much flash? etc. but we just got one so I'll look at that too. ron - To unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@freiburg.linux.de with 'unsubscribe openbios' in the body of the message

Probably either Via or AMD... I have a bunch of Via info, if it turns out to be a Via-based motherboard. To the original posted, use "lspci" to find out the info on your motherboard's chipset.
