via flash_on utility

2004-08-02 Thread zhu shi song
Dear lists,
 flasn_on utility is just for sis630 chipset.  Is
there any similar utility for via 8601/686b chipset?

  tks

AMD Serenade: Filo can't find/access ATA HD (IDE - /dev/hda)

2004-08-02 Thread Ken Fuchs
All serial input/output is prefixed with #. for easier reference.

/dev/hda3 contains SuSE GNU/Linux 9.1 on a single reiserfs filesystem.
The Linux kernel is SuSE patched /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.4-52-smp.  vmlinuz
is a symbolic link to this kernel.  The SuSE GNU/Linux 9.1 system
works fine when the original BIOS is used.

The filo command used is:

749. boot: hda3:/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 desktop 
splash=silent showopts

Filo returns:

753. file_open: dev=hda3, path=/boot/vmlinuz
754. find_ide_controller: PCI IDE #0 not found
755. IDE channel 0 not found
756. devopen: failed to open ide

Here's the serial output (numbered for easier reference):

This is a filo problem, it stops before it even tries to boot 
SUSE Linux.

You need to force filo to probe all the PCI busses, not only bus 0. See
the mailing list archive for more information..

As was noted earlier on this list, that keyboard controller part is
seriously fucked up on that board.

for now, turn off the keyboard, there's something wrong on that mobo we 
have not worked out. 

Second, write user-mode linux programs to try to get that stupid part to 
work, and see what is wrong.

Try FILO 0.4.2 if you aren't using it already. It should incorporate a 
PCI scanning fix that Stefan posted a while back (August?).

Sorry, I forgot to mention that filo 0.4.2 was being used when the

DiskOnChip 16M part OK?

2004-08-02 Thread Tom Warren
Has anyone used the 16MB DOC (8MB is discontinued) on the PCCHIPS
M810LMR board with the default pcchips config? Or is there anything I
need to change  recompile for the larger part?

Thanks,

I would just try it to start and see how it goes. I thought that DOC had a 
bigger 'RAM page' or some such but it should all be compatible. I hope.
