Hi Justin,

JC> ok, followed the HOWTO and flashed my k7sem. The howto is almost right
JC> now, still misses out "now run flash_on".

JC> However it cant find hda:
JC>     ide0: BM-DMA at 0x2040-0x2047, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio
JC> hda: C/H/S=0/0/0 from BIOS ignored

JC> NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0.
JC> request_module[block-major-3]: Root fs not mounted
JC> VFS: Cannot open root device "hda1" or 03:01
JC> Please append a correct "root=" boot option
JC> Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:01

JC> Is this spinup or command line problem?
JC> I need to put the root fs into DoC anyway.

Booting from power on results in this message, if the spinup is too
slow. After booting from power on and getting this error message, try
to press the reset button now and see if it will work now. If it does,
than it's the same problem as for me on M810LMR (pcchips). The problem
is that the boot process is too fast. The spinup takes more time than
the boot process :-) (really fast booting) and the kernel got a
timeout for scanning for hd.

If the problem is still there, than your config could be wrong.
Install your linuxbios kernel on hd. Switch to your normal motherboard
BIOS and boot the kernel from hd with the same kernel parameters
(in lilo or grub config) as you want for linuxbios DoC boot process.

Don't forget to compile all drivers into the kernel that are needed
for booting. Especially the IDE and EXT3 options could be missing.


JC> Also, how can you set 133MHz FSB and CPU for k7sem? I have a nice XP
JC> in there.

JC> Justin



ciao. Stefan
