I have seen this when SMBUS is broken and "clocks" is 0xff (i.e. >
DTH_TRWT_MAX). You might want to add a print here to see what the value of
clocks is.

ROMSTRAP
Eric, I'm debug the one Opteron MB with NV CK 804. That chipset (SB) can use ROM Strap to set some register before control is handed to CPU. But the space it need about 0xffe00 to 0xfef. I guess that add romstarp.lds and romstrap.inc could solve the problem. And it is only needed by fallback. Please advise.

This is your first problem.
mkelf-linux does not know how to bypass the BIOS calls so
it will not work under LinuxBIOS.
Please get mkelfImage 2.5

I don't know the why. This bit is simply a sanity check that the information

Let me try to clarify what you're saying... the version we're running

CVS to fix this problem?
No problem either way, I just want to be clear before I start down this

kobian FDSMx with linuxbios
Hi all. I'm about to test linuxbios for the first time on a kobian FDSMx motherboard. This motherboard has the VIA VT8235 southbridge, and the VIA VT8375 (aka KM266) northbridge. I see that the VT8235 is already supported in src/southbridge/via/vt8235, but I saw nothing about the km266. Do I have a chance for it to work with other VIA northbridge like the VT8623? Do I have a chance for it to work at all? And about the DOC, I saw that in the sis630 chipset the motherboard can be used as a flash-burner... does this have a chance of working in my current set, or should I be ordering a flash burner? Ok, I think this is all for now.

Is this on the S2880? The only patch you might need is for integrated ATi

Opteron / Tyan motherboard fault on boot.
We're in the process of deploying Linuxbios to boot a cluster of Opteron
based blade servers. I built a new kernel, put it in /tftpboot after
using:
mkelf-linux --rootdir=rom --ip=rom ./bzImage > vmlinuz.tyan
and cycled the blade. Wen booting, I get:
Searching for server (DHCP)

LinuxBIOS-1.1.62.0_Fallback [date date] starting...
Unknown Trwt
Looking at an old message to this list, there's this snippet:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg03174.html
where the following line(s) are, in set_Trwt()...
if ((clocks < DTH_TRWT_MIN) || (clocks > DTH_TRWT_MAX)) {
die("Unknown Trwt");
}
What is this, and why is it happening? Is there a patch needed for LinuxBIOS
to work properly on modern Opterons?
Thanks, I'm in dire straights here, any help would be appreciated.
